APO Brother running for US senate.
Erik Fleming, an Alpha Phi Omega brother from Jackson State University and member of the Mississippi House of Representatives, is right now a declared candidate for US Senate in Mississippi. He is a Democrat, running for the seat currently held by Republican Senator Trent Lott. The election is in 2006.

Certainly
I agree that he has a tough road ahead, but thought that brothers would find it interesting. Besides, there are rumors that Lott might not run for re-election. I don't think we have a brother in the Senate right now (with Daschle's defeat in 2004).

Good luck to him!

ETA: And he's originally from Chicago...I like him more and more!

Sen. Hillary Clinton is an honorary brother of Alpha Beta Chi (this according to the wikipedia page) but I don't know if that counts.

Doh!
You know, I'm *really* banging my head over this considering that I added her to the Wikipedia Page (along with most of the other Famous brother there.)

I know him and his chapter brother, who write for Vibe Magazine.
We are every where. I will donate $250 to his campaign. Please send moneys to his campaign. We as brothers of the Rising Sun have sent money to displace Sisters and brother from the recent Hurricane. Don't talk, get invole!

Very cool. BTW, I have had Brother Fleming in the Famous Brothers section on the Wikipedia Page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Phi_Omega even before he declared he was running against Senator Lott.
Does anyone have any suggestions for additional brothers who should be added to the list?
