    Does anyone know of any other politicians that own hybrid vehicles.

    I know my congressman, Jim Saxton, owns a Honda Civic Hybrid, and that Tom Kean, Jr. owns a Ford Escape Hybrid. I know Nancy Pelosi also wanted to drive a Prius, but there was a big controversy over her having to be escorted to the capitol by capitol police.

    This is Prius-specific, but I didn't see any politician's names on this list (unless you count Aryana Huffington and Tim Robbins).

    There's the former CIA guy, who's name escapes me at the moment. Not a politician though.

    The mayor of Houston, Bill White (a Democrat), drives a black 2004 Prius (and the city of Houston has a whole fleet of Prii, both gen 1 and gen 2).

    Jim McDermott, congressman from the 47th District in Washington State owns a 2003 Prius. I've met him several times. He's probably one of the most liberal politicos in either Washington.

    Our congressional representative, Tom Davis (recently re-elected), apparently drives a Ford Escape Hybrid.

    Gov. Bill Richardson on NM has a Escape hybrid that his security details drives him around in.
