PORT ORCHARD, Wash. (AP) — Identical twins Patrick and Nathan Griffin-Hall like the same food, the same movies, the same books.

But the 27-year-old brothers who live together in Port Orchard, Wash., split when it comes to politics.

Patrick is a Republican and Nathan is a Democrat, and both have registered as candidates for precinct committee officer in their respective parties. Both are running unopposed.

Patrick will be serving his third term, Nathan his first.

From an early age, Patrick sensed he was different from the rest of his large blended family.

He says, “They’re all hippie liberals. I’m the lone conservative.”
