For the first half of my adult life, I was a Democrat.

Well, I grew up as a democrat.

My mother was a Democrat - southern Democrat, y'all.

It always seemed to be a constant that my parents were political.

I registered Democrat because my parents did. They were, we were. There was no thinking behind it.

My family was not Republicans. I'm the youngest. I came to this party based upon choice.

My dad was an immigrant kid and a Democrat and a Jew, and we didn't know any Republicans in our group. So I grew up Democratic. My dad was a labor lawyer - a very hardworking guy, a one-horse labor lawyer - and then I went to hippie college and lived in the bubble.

My entire family were Democrats all our lives. But because how furious I was about the previous administration, I turned in my card to become a Republican. I did not want to be known as a Democrat under that person's regime.

My parents were pretty liberal, but they were still parents. I definitely had my teenage rebellion.

I was a Democrat for a period of time early on. And then I was also an independent. And then I became a Republican.
