Ok, I don't know any offhand but I just found this:

Excerpt from Daily Kos 

I'm a liberal, sure, (though pro-free trade, pro-balanced budgets, if that means anything). But I'm also a vegan.

Any others?

3. there's a small vegetarian/vegan "caucus"

in congress, but offhand i couldn't tell you who they are (except for the already mentioned dk)

4. Chelsea Clinton is a veg

Last I heard. Russell Simmons (led the hip-hop dem movement) is a vegan. It's probably a fair assumption that most vegans are somewhat liberal.

I actually knew a Republican vegan once, but I think it might be safe to assume that's not usually the case.
