Tom Vilsack Only Supports Marriage Equality For Iowa | Former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack (D), who now serves as Secretary of Agriculture, has said that he’s proud that his home state established marriage equality. He took credit for appointing some of the Iowa Supreme Court judges who overturned the ban on same-sex marriage in 2009, calling it a “good decision.” He stopped short, however, of calling for nationwide marriage equality, offering, “I will be happy to answer that question someday. That day is not today.”
