Funny the story doesn’t say whether he is a democrat or Republican. My guess is democrat.

Had to wait until the next to last paragraph:

Reynolds, a former Rhodes scholar, was a fast-rising star in the U.S. Democratic party when he was forced to resign in 1995 after being convicted of sexual assault, obstruction of justice and solicitation of child pornography.

Another interesting tidbit that would have been in the first paragraph had he been Republican.
