I use that image to represent a politician in all the videos so it is consistent. Why that image? Because I'm limited to free clipart I find (with re-use rights), and that image looked the most like a politician (in terms of dress/pose) when I made the videos. Ideally, I'd like to have images of people of multiple genders/races in the same politician's outfit, but I'm limited to the free clipart available.
