Is "Andy" here related to "Ted" in some way? That's a pretty uncommon surname.

Have you heard of the country called Poland?

I have indeed. That does not seem to change how rare of a surname it is, I don't think. Especially when speaking of U.S. politics, I'm assuming he's American or at least in the U.S. which seems to narrow it from people in Poland. It seems like it's much more likely to be related than someone with the last name Smith related to another Smith.

I'm not trying to imply they are alike in personality or anything past the surface level; I just think it's interesting as I have hardly ever heard that name in the U.S.

Edit: I just looked it up and Andy has stated there is no relation.
