Religion Information:

Political Views:
He has voted for both Democrats and Republicans. In 1988, Willis backed Michael Dukakis who is a Democrat. Later he voted Republican because he was a fan of George W. Bush. He has clarified that “I’m a Republican only as far as I want a smaller government”. This would seem to suggest that he might actually be more of a Libertarian, as “smaller government” is one of their big selling points.
