Conservative radio talk show host — and Brown University graduate — Larry Elder has announced his 2024 bid for President in the Republican primary.

Brown's rich history of famous liberal alums includes Amy Carter, John F. Kennedy, Jr., Congressman David Cicilline, and former Democratic Party Chair Tom Perez.
However, maybe less publicized is that there have been a significant number of high-profile conservatives beyond Elder who called Brown home.
That list includes a central figure in Watergate, Charles ‘Chuck’ Colson, who was special counsel to President Richard Nixon, as well as Republican politicians such as former George W. Bush administration appointee and Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal. He headed up Brown’s college GOP group before graduating in 1992. And then there is American Nazi Party founder George Lincoln Rockwell who also attended Brown.
Elder, a 1974 Brown University graduate, who has been a mainstay of conservative California AM radio for decades, has ‘drawn criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike,’ reported the New York Times.
‘Undocumented immigrants? Deport them. Affirmative action? End it. Equal pay? The glass ceiling doesn’t exist,” writes the NYT of Elder’s views -- which in general, don't meet those of Brown students today.’”
