But Mr. Myers’s extracurricular activities may be his greater claim to fame. He’s a major Democratic bundler, who’s currently throwing his weight behind the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. It’s said that Democratic party bigwigs, including Nancy Pelosi and Andy Tobias, are trying to induce him to run for Congress. “He’s got political aspirations,” said pal and fellow Hetrick-Martin Institute board member Rob Smith. For his part, Myers admitted he’s “thinking about it,” and noted, “If you look at Congress, we currently have four openly gay members out of 535; it’s pretty clear that we’re massively underrepresented.” Still, he hastened to add, “I wouldn’t be running as a gay candidate.”
