Aneesh Paul Chopra (July 13, 1972 -) was the first American Federal Chief Technology Officer of the United States (CTO). Before that, Chopra was Virginia’s fourth Secretary of Technology.
During the controversy over SOPA and PIPA, Chopra aligned himself with Wikipedia and its decision to shut-down as part of the lobbying against that legislation.
Chopra left the White House in early 2012, to run for office in Virginia.[1] On July 12, 2012, Chopra formally announced he was running in 2013 for Lieutenant Governor for the Commonwealth of Virginia.[2] He is expected to run against Jeannemarie Devolites Davis, the wife of former Congressman Thomas M. Davis.
