Tom Carper was elected the 78th governor of Delaware in 1992 and served two terms in that role. As governor, he pursued a common-sense agenda that led to eight balanced budgets, tax cuts in seven of those eight years, and major increases in employment. From 1994-1998, he served as a member of Amtrak’s board of directors. In 2001 he took Joe Biden seat in the Senator when Senator Biden became Vice President.
