twice, but four times?
JD Vance has legally changed his name twice, going through four different iterations of his name overall throughout his life. [1, 2, 3]
The Name History
James Donald Bowman: His birth name when he was born in August 1984, matching his biological father. [1]
James David Hamel: Changed around age six after his mother remarried and he was adopted by his third stepfather, Bob Hamel. [1]
James David Vance: Legally changed in 2013 (around the time of his marriage and law school graduation) to adopt the surname of his maternal grandparents, who primarily raised him. [1, 2, 3]
JD Vance: A stylistic change made in 2021 when he entered politics, dropping the periods from "J.D." (though his legal name remains James David Vance). [1, 2]
I like this version...
and I'd support Rubio over Vance if the primary was today...
still?
I think that ship has unfortunately sailed... remember McCain/Feingold and Citizens United ?
imo, CU made it even worse
