I didn't see it mentioned in the article, but of course H. John Heinz III was a REPUBLICAN SENATOR. (And a fairly conservative one at that.)

Teresa's political beliefs don't seem to run too deep. LOL

It clearly says that he was a Republican:

"Nor did the couple's entrance into Republican politics in 1970 make her feel particularly welcome. Heinz's opponent in his first bid for Congress, curiously attempting to taint Heinz as an outsider in a city where his family had lived for generations, referred to Teresa as Heinz's ''African bride.''
