Nation's first second gentleman makes first solo outing
https://apnews.com/article/second-gentleman-doug-emhoff-first-event-af8f33d7cbb8862c34e11d0bc32c3ec7
WASHINGTON (AP) — Doug Emhoff, America’s first second gentleman, highlighted food insecurity on his first solo public outing Thursday, saying it’s “something everyone needs to be concerned about.”
Emhoff said during the campaign that he would use his groundbreaking role to elevate the issue.
His first solo appearance as the spouse of Kamala Harris, the first woman to be elected vice president, was to meet with representatives of a nonprofit organization with the dual mission of decreasing food insecurity and increasing economic opportunity.
...
Earlier in the day, Emhoff took note in a tweet of the addition of his title to the dictionary.
“Well, now it’s official,” he tweeted. “@MerriamWebster just added “Second Gentleman” to the dictionary. I might be the first, but I won’t be the last.”
This is definitely a worthy initiative.

Ditto. It makes me sick that there is anyone in this country that is food insecure.
A lot of people have no idea, so this will bring some more attention to an important issue.
