Prior to her becoming Lt. Governor, Pederson served as an executive with the Meredith Corporation in Des Moines, Iowa . She also worked as an editor for Better Homes And Gardens . Pederson became Tom Vilsack 's running mate when he first ran for governor in 1998 , and was subsequently elected as Lt. Governor. Pederson again ran as Lt. Governor in the 2002 campaign, and the Vilsack-Pederson ticket won a second term in office. During the 2004 election season, prior to the selection of John Edwards as the Vice-Presidential candidate it was widely rumored that Vilsack would be asked to become John Kerry 's running mate in the Presidential election. It was later rumored that Vilsack would've been offered a cabinet level position in the event of a Kerry victory. If that had occurred, Pederson would've been named Governor of Iowa in Vilsack's place, and would as a result have become the first female Governor of Iowa. Pederson will remain Lt. Governor until the end of the current term. She is not among those seeking to replace Vilsack as Governor and her future plans after leaving office have not yet been announced. EXTERNAL LINKS |
