America’s Senator earned his Bachelor of Arts from Iowa Wesleyan University, where he received two-time All-American Honors as a football player. He likes to say he went on to earn his master’s from Let Down University and Ph.D. from Overcomers University. At the age of 23, his experience with law enforcement came when he bought guns from a licensed gun dealer for a friend who lived in another state. At the time of purchase, he provided his driver’s License and Social Security number and informed the gun dealer they were for his friend who lived out of town. He later learned that purchasing guns for a non-resident of the State of Texas is called a straw purchase. He subsequently was charged with the “illegal purchase of firearms.” Upon receiving 5-year probation, he violated it one week before expiration after he went hunting with business associates who were doctors and attorneys. He served 18 months in federal prison. America’s Senator, whom you may come to respect and love, is a recipient of the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award after mentoring over 500,000 youth nationally. In 2016, he founded two of America’s most influential political ground games: Black Men for Bernie and Trump for Urban Communities. Like him or not, his work has proven to be very productive. His motto is no one outworks or serves him, and he lives by faith and favor.
