Reading his bio this not only stood out, but touched me: "They taught him to be a lifelong learner."

Thank you for taking the initiative.

was a Republican between 2013-2014, ndependent 2014-2015, then back to a Democrat from 2015-now. Wonder what that's about? Why he became a Republican after Obama's 2nd term swearing in? Or likely unrelated. I became a Republican for one year just to vote against Reagan in his CA primary so there could be a quirky explanation.
