Yeah, he has some political links to Hillary Clinton from quite a while ago (he managed her Senate campaign) but what he's done in public life is definitely progressive on issue after issue.

Love that his son goes to public school and that his daughter who is now in college did as well. And he has a real stake in racial justice issues with two bi-racial kids- particularly with a bi-racial son.
