We need unity and civility back in our political discourse. 

The current political class has turned working people from the same neighborhoods and communities against one another and that’s no way to live.

As Americans, we have much more that unites us than divides us, but the media, large corporations, and politicians all tell us otherwise, because they benefit from our division.

I will restore civility to our politics.

I believe in redemption for one’s mistakes.

No one’s perfect, least of all, me.

I will extend and promote forgiveness, compassion, and love to our fellow neighbor, whether you agree with me on every issue or not.

As your senator, I won’t blame you, the people, for the failings of our politicians, like so many others.

I won’t label you, disparage you, call you names or insult you or your intelligence, because you deserve better.
