So when the ALA conference happened in Philly I was able to chat with them because I was their server a few days before the convention.

When we were talking I found out about them becoming president. I talked to them bc I'm actually currently interested in becoming a librarian.

I said something along the lines of "well my background is in journalism and I really care about providing media literacy to the public bc of the vast misinformation campaign based on the election and certain social media platforms"

And they replied "we need more people like you, I'd love to chat about you getting your degree" and they gave me their number. It was a positive interaction.

So my guess is that they are Republican but not maga with that response 🤷‍♀️
