A lot of the lower-level political staffers are single and are working their first job out of college.

He lives in Alpine, Utah with the likes of Merlin Olsen- Pro Football Hall of Fame Dale Murphy two-time MVP winning and Todd Christensen- five-time Pro Bowl tight. It’s SUCH a struggle for him.

Cheap b*stard.
