On the record

Benjamin Eugene Quayle was born in Fort Wayne in November 1976, days after his father, Dan Quayle, was first elected to Congress from the city's district. His Fort Wayne tie is that birth and nothing more: he was raised in Indianapolis and Washington, took his bachelor's degree at Duke University in 1998 and his law degree at Vanderbilt in 2002, and built his career in Arizona, where he served one term in the U.S. House of Representatives for the state's 3rd district, from 2011 to 2013. Most references give his birth date as November 5, 1976; the text of the Biographical Directory entry reads November 3.
