There have been attempts to recruit editors of specific viewpoints to this article, in a manner that does not comply with Wikipedia's policies. Editors are encouraged to use neutral mechanisms for requesting outside input (e.g. a " request for comment", a third opinion or other noticeboard post, or neutral criteria: " pinging all editors who have edited this page in the last 48 hours"). If someone has asked you to provide your opinion here, examine the arguments, not the editors who have made them. Reminder: disputes are resolved by consensus, not by majority vote.

Hi @ 2600:6C44:577F:C258:1558:3143:6FB5:F536, please read What Wikipedia is not. Best, @ Avishai11 Avishai11 ( talk) 01:40, 19 January 2024 (UTC) reply

What are his political beliefs though? Those are objective facts that are massively important for the wikipedia page of even the most minor state senators let alone a candidate for president of the U.S Raffiti ( talk) 00:52, 26 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Yes, I agree that his political beliefs should be added.Additionally I think more of his accomplishments in Congress should be added to the tenure section. Smobes ( talk) 16:49, 12 June 2024 (UTC) reply

The use of the expression "né" is not clear or common. The early life section ought to read:

"(Full name at birth) was born to..."

Was his name "Dean Benson Pfefer" at birth? It is implied but not made clear the way the article is currently written. 110.174.121.92 ( talk) 19:16, 5 June 2024 (UTC) reply
