Quote

I grew up in a very liberal place.

I'm not a liberal elite who was educated in the northeast, for example, I'm just a kid from Mississippi.

I became a conservative for the first dozen years of my professional life in Berkeley, Calif., and it was a reaction against political correctness, so I get it.

Seattle is this curious liberal 'island.'

Seattle is a liberal city, its politics not so much blue (in the American, not the British, sense) as deep ultramarine, and its manners are studiously polite.

I grew up in Seattle, but I always knew I wanted to leave.

I've always been very liberal when it comes to people thinking for themselves.

I grew up in a politically aware household: very civically-minded, good Minnesota liberals.

I'd never get elected if people in North Carolina realized how liberal I am.
