7. 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.

I thought he was a Rush Holt wannabe. I was a little argumentative in discussing an energy issue with him. He was very patient in his responses.

Subsequently, I got to know him better.

He played an important role in my son's intellectual development, both as the moderator of the Science on Saturday series at PPPL, and when he gave me some advice about how to get a SULI internship for national labs. (My son spent his post undergraduate sophomore summer at Oak Ridge, which was a life changing experience. For that alone, I owe Andrew endless gratitude.)

Andrew would be a very powerful voice in the House, much as Rush Holt was. Rush Holt was by far, the best congressperson I ever had. I expect Andrew might even be better on some level; he at least has a shot of doing so.
