The Biden Compound
Senator Biden, "In my house, being raised with a sister and three brothers, there was an absolute — it was a nuclear sanction, if under any circumstances, for any reason, no matter how justified, even self-defense — if you ever touched your sister, not figuratively, literally. My sister, who is my best friend, my campaign manager, my confidante, grew up with absolute impunity in our household. And I have the bruises to prove it. I mean that sincerely. I am not exaggerating when I say that."
In 2007, the candidate's sister (Valerie Biden Owens) is the National Chair of the Biden for President Campaign.
Biden's younger sister Valerie Biden Owens has run every campaign for her brother during his 37-year political career. Executive vice president of Joe Slade White and Company, a strategic consulting firm. She also serves as a volunteer political trainer for Women’s Campaign International, a non-profit organization dedicated to the empowerment of women in the world’s emerging democracies, and she currently serves on the national board of the DNC Women’s Leadership Forum.
