It seems that newly elected GOP chief Reince Priebus graduated from the University of Miami School of Law n 1998. For a write up of his activities as a law student see University of Miami | School of Law – Reince Priebus, JD’98: UM Degree Sets Him Apart. He was a student leader, and was here around the same time as our other recent political star, Senator Marco Rubio ’96.

Not everyone is a fan, however, of what Mr. Priebus has been up to since he graduated. See for example this Wisconsin blogger’s take, New GOP National Chair Is Voter Obstruction Operative from Wisconsin. (And, more about the voter suppression in Wisconsin.)
