First off, he's a nobody and a veterinarian. I looked him up today on Open Secrets and nothing there about donations from Big Pharma or Insurance.
He's good looking and articulate, maybe that's all you need to be an R leader on a Big Issue.

His district covers, in part, Gainesville, FL but he caters to the rural TP nuts. Yet another loony FL congress critter.

One of the most GOP districts in the entire state, and it's not full of retirees. He's probably got the least to lose by being associated with this turkey.
