I am passionate about democracy, equality, public education and the ethics of people in elected office. I am inspired by Ukraine and all who fight authoritarianism. I enjoy travel, history, new tech, old cars, music & golf. Yes, I have dry sense of humor.

#Education#Politics#Election2024 "Public education — and then college — were my tickets out of poverty, just as they were for Mr. Vance. I became a first-generation college student courtesy of federally funded Pell Grants, which covered the entirety of my four-year state-college degree."

The vice-presidential nominee should be thinking of how to extend a ladder to those he left behind, not how to pull it up behind him.
