Christopher Heinz

Christopher Drake Heinz (born 1973) is the youngest of three sons of United States Senator John Heinz and Teresa Heinz. His brothers are named Henry Heinz IV and Andre Heinz. When his mother remarried after the death of his father, Heinz became the step-son of United States Senator John Kerry. Heir to the H. J. Heinz Company fortune, media and family members recognized Heinz as the most politically savvy of the Heinz children and was presumed to be a future political candidate from his homestate of Pennsylvania. A Republican-turned-Democrat, Heinz introduced his mother during the 2004 Democratic National Convention that officially nominated John Kerry for President of the United States.
