Perhaps I wasn’t clear... I too believe he was raised in MV.
See he and I are the same age and grew up in the Skagit Valley at the same time. It was a very conservative place when we grew up. He is a hometown boy done well, but not all in the Valley appreciate him...not a great homecoming awhile ago. But, proud to say MY daughter was there to welcome him! LOL. My former lefty daughter is a fan...
