This isn’t the first instance of an alumni network speaking out against one of its own. Some of Harvard University’s Class of 2003 used its 15th reunion, in May, as a platform to condemn Jared Kushner, senior adviser to the president. Additionally, alumni of the University of Virginia School of Law, which Nielsen attended for her law degree, also wrote a letter.

Like Wall, many self-funding candidates are political novices who try to use their money to overcome their inexperience, Larry Sabato, the director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, said in an interview during the campaign.

"My best guess is that a newly enlarged conservative majority on the Court – with Justice Kavanaugh having joined their ranks – would proceed by steps, rather than in one fell swoop, in undermining Roe v. Wade. Expect states to be given even more breathing room on deciding when, whether, and how abortions may be procured," said A.E. Dick Howard, a constitutional law scholar at the University of Virginia School of Law who clerked for Justice Hugo Black.

The career of The Vine Wine Club founder Benita Johnson is difficult to sum up. She didn’t start out in the industry, and didn’t drink wine until attending the University of Virginia where Riunite and Boone’s Farm were the students’ favored beverage. “We didn’t have much money,” Johnson says.
