Greatest advice: "My father taught me to be honest in dealing with people and to never sell something you don’t believe in. (Milwaukee County District Attorney) Mike McCann, another mentor of mine, taught me to approach every issue with integrity. And Gordon Baldwin, a constitutional law professor, taught me the importance of being intellectually honest about what the law says and what the law means, and to be fair in its application."
