John Forbes Kerry  (born December 11, 1943) is an American politician and diplomat, currently serving as the first United States Special Presidential Envoy for Climate . He previously served as the 68th  United States Secretary of State  from 2013 to 2017. An attorney and former naval officer, Kerry first drew public attention as a decorated Vietnam veteran turned anti-war activist. He went on to serve as a prosecutor and as Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts , before serving as United States Senator  from Massachusetts  from 1985 to 2013. A member of the Democratic Party , he was the Democratic nominee for President of the United States  in the 2004 election , which he lost to incumbent President George W. Bush . As of 2021, he is the last Democratic presidential candidate to lose the popular vote. Kerry grew up as a military brat  in Massachusetts  and Washington, D.C.  before attending boarding school  in Massachusetts  and New Hampshire . In 1966, after graduating from Yale University , Kerry enlisted in the United States Naval Reserve , ultimately attaining the rank of lieutenant . From 1968 to 1969, during the Vietnam War , he served an abbreviated four-month tour of duty in South Vietnam . While serving as the commanding officer of a Swift boat , Kerry sustained three wounds in combat with the Viet Cong , for which he earned three Purple Heart Medals . Kerry was awarded the Silver Star Medal  and the Bronze Star Medal  for valorous conduct in separate military engagements. After completing his active military service, Kerry returned to the United States and became an outspoken opponent of the Vietnam War . He gained national recognition as an anti-war activist, serving as a spokesperson for the Vietnam Veterans Against the War  organization. Kerry testified in the Fulbright Hearings  before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations , where he described the United States government's policy in Vietnam as the cause of war crimes . In 1972, Kerry entered electoral politics as a Democratic candidate for the United States House of Representatives  in Massachusetts' 5th congressional district . Kerry won the Democratic nomination but was defeated in the general election by his Republican opponent. He subsequently worked as a radio talk show  host in Lowell  and as the executive director of an advocacy organization while attending the Boston College School of Law . After obtaining his juris doctor  in 1976, Kerry served from 1977 to 1979 as the First Assistant District Attorney of Middlesex County , where he tried criminal cases and managed the district attorney's office. After a period in private legal practice, Kerry was elected Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts  in 1982. In 1984, Kerry was elected to the United States Senate . As a member of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations , he led a series of hearings  investigating narcotics  trafficking in Latin America , which exposed aspects of the Iran–Contra affair . He was reelected to additional terms in 1990 , 1996 , 2002  and 2008 . Kerry won the Democratic Party presidential nomination in 2004 , alongside vice presidential nominee and North Carolina  Senator John Edwards . Kerry campaigned as a critic of Republican President George W. Bush's prosecution of the Iraq War  and advocated a liberal  domestic policy. Kerry lost the Electoral College  and the popular vote by narrow margins, winning 251 electors to Bush's 286 and 48.3% of the popular vote to Bush's 50.7%. Kerry remained in the Senate and chaired the Committee on Foreign Relations  from 2009 to 2013. In January 2013, he was nominated by President Barack Obama  to succeed outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton , and was confirmed by his Senate colleagues on a vote of 94 to 3. As Secretary of State, Kerry initiated the 2013–2014 Israeli–Palestinian peace talks  and negotiated agreements restricting the nuclear program of Iran , including the 2013 Joint Plan of Action  and the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action . In 2015, Kerry signed the Paris Agreement  on climate change  on behalf of the United States. Kerry served as Secretary of State until the end of the Obama administration in January 2017, when he left government service. Kerry remained active in public affairs as a vocal opponent of Obama's successor, Donald Trump , president from 2017 to 2021, and as a supporter of Trump's successor, Kerry's former U.S. Senate colleague Joe Biden , who had served as Obama's Vice President.
