Vicki Iseman is a Washington, DC lobbyist with the lobbying firm of Alcalde and Fay. She gained national media attention on February 21, 2008, when The New York Times ran a story[1] alleging that during John McCain's presidential campaign in the 2000 presidential primaries, John McCain's aides had to intervene with McCain to put a halt to an "improper relationship" between McCain and Iseman. The story included rumors that McCain and Iseman were romantically linked, but none of the sources quoted in the article explicitly alleged a romantic link, and both McCain and Iseman issued statements denying it.
Background
Born in 1967, Iseman attended the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, graduating with a B.S.Ed. in Elementary Education in 1990.[2] After graduation, Iseman joined a friend in Washington, DC and initially got a job as a receptionist at Alcalde and Fay. After a few months, she approached the president of Alcalde and Fay and said "I’m a college graduate and I’d like you to consider me for a secretarial or an administrative position." The president agreed to a three-month trial and within a year she became his special assistant.[3]
From this position, Iseman learned about lobbying from the firm's president, and soon became a lobbyist in her own right. Eight years later, she became the youngest partner in the history of Alcalde and Fay.[4] Her most prominent clients at this point were PAX Network, Religious Voices in Broadcasting (a sort of splinter group of National Religious Broadcasters), Telemundo, the Hispanic Broadcasting Corporation (which merged with Univision in 2002), and Computer Sciences Corporation.[5]
