Karenna Aitcheson Gore Schiff[1] (born August 6, 1973) is an American author, journalist, and attorney. She is the eldest daughter of Al and Tipper Gore and the sister of Kristin Gore. Gore is the director of Union Forum at Union Theological Seminary.[2]
Gore was born in Nashville, Tennessee, and grew up there as well as in Washington D.C.. She graduated from National Cathedral School in 1991.[3] She received her B.A. in history and literature in 1995 from Harvard University, a J.D. from Columbia Law School in 2000,[4] and a Master of Arts degree from Union Theological Seminary in 2013.[5][2][6] During college, she interned as a journalist for WREG-TV and The Times-Picayune. She later wrote for El Pais in Spain and Slate in Seattle. After law school, she was briefly an associate with the law firm Simpson Thacher & Bartlett in New York.[7] She later left law to work in the non-profit sector, first as Director of Community Affairs for the Association to Benefit Children (ABC), then in the legal center of Sanctuary for Families.[5]
Gore Schiff was the Youth Outreach Chair on her father's 2000 presidential campaign.[8][9] Together with her father's former Harvard roommate Tommy Lee Jones,[10] she officially nominated Gore as the presidential candidate during the 2000 Democratic Convention in Los Angeles.[11] She also introduced her father during the launching of his campaign.[12][13]
In 2006, she published Lighting the Way: Nine Women Who Shaped Modern America,[4] a profile of nine modern and historical American women.[14] Stating that the book was written in reaction to the results of the 2000 campaign, Gore Schiff said, "I wanted to turn all that frustration and sadness into something positive."[4]
