Vanessa Summers Biography

Vanessa Summers is one of the most popular and richest Politician who was born on April 24, 1958 in New York City, New York, United States. Her parents had married in 1948, after both her father Joseph W. Summers (1930–1991) and mother Joyce Benson Summers (d. 2014) had graduated from Crispus Attucks High School, when it was the only secondary school open to African Americans in Indianapolis. Vanessa Summers has a sister (Natalie), and graduated from the former St. Mary’s Academy for Girls, then the only private secondary school in the city that would accept African-American pupils (it closed in 1977). Summers attended Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis, and in 1981 received an associate degree in mortuary science from the Indiana College of Mortuary Science.

In the Indiana legislature, which was then evenly split between Republicans and Democrats, Summers was appointed to her father’s seat for the remaining eight months of the term. Following the advice of Julia Carson, a fellow Indianapolis Democrat (who had served in both houses of the Indiana legislature and would win election to the U.S. Congress), Vanessa Summers ran for election on her own behalf, won and was re-elected multiple times. She faced neither primary nor general election opponents in 2014, 2016 and 2018, and overwhelmingly defeated Republican David T. Blank in 2012, when the Republicans won a legislative majority. Summers is a member of the Indiana Black Legislative Caucus, the National Black Caucus and the Marion County Democratic party.
