We need scientists in Congress. He ran for this office once before, when the incomparable Rush Holt retired. At the time, when I met him, I thought him a Holt wannabe, another PPPL physicist thinking the seat became the province of the lab.

As I got more familiar with him I came to understand he's the right guy for the office. His broad exposure to issues, his decency, his intelligence, and a (surprising) bit of fire that we saw at his No Kings speech in Princeton show that Congress needs him.

GO ANDREW!!!!

I hope you get your wish as this Zwicker sounds like a good person. riversedge Nov 11 #6

That he is. I'm a big admirer. I first met him at a town fair many years ago, during his first run for Congress. NNadir Nov 11 #7
