The first-ever second gentleman grew up going to Hebrew school, spending time with friends, and playing Little League in New Jersey.
Second gentleman Doug Emhoff reintroduced himself to the world during a primetime address at the Democratic National Convention Tuesday ahead of Vice PresidentFar before Emhoff, 59, could become the first second gentleman in U.S. history — and perhaps the first-ever first gentleman, should Harris win the election in November — he spent his childhood in New Jersey.“I had a typical Jersey suburban childhood,” Emhoff said during his approximately 15-minute speech.
Still, Old Bridge Superintendent of Schools David Cittadino celebrated their almost-alumnus in November 2020, when Emhoff became the second gentleman-elect. “No matter what candidate you supported, it is a momentous time in history for Old Bridge as we proudly congratulate 1st Second Gentleman ,” Cittadino. Emhoff was also a camper at Camp Cedar Lake in Milford, Pa. in the summer of 1978. There, 13-year-old Emhoff was voted the “most athletic” of his division.
During his DNC speech, Emhoff emphasized the long lasting community he found during his childhood, from athletics to his neighborhood’s communal approach to meals. “Everyone left their garage door open,” Emhoff said of his neighborhood. “Wherever you ended up at dinner time, that’s the family that fed you. Everyone took care of everyone else.”“The group chat is active every day, and it’s probably blowing up right now,” Emhoff told the audience.
