I've been reading up on Beto O'Rourke, a potential presidential candidate.  He was in a punk band while attending Columbia, and he played with Cedric Bixler, from At the Drive In/The Mars Volta! He liked a lot of stuff that I listen to, like Fugazi and Jawbox.  Of course, the conservative party is trying to parlay his punk-rock past into something against him! Who says that people with interesting musical backgrounds can't have quality political careers?
Also, he apparently has a DUI which people already knew about and it hasn't effected his political career so far.  Of course I don't approve of those, but I am willing to dismiss that since he seems long past it.
