Hello reader, and here we are with another month! Same madness though, with just a few more twists? 

I want to change it up a bit this month because, well, I’m the writer and I can do that. I’ve read some of the responses to previous columns and, per usual, it’s clear that the entire point was missed. 

At times, it’s genuinely easier to have an intellectual conversation with a houseplant.

Anyways, minus some of those who write back … who probably shouldn’t, and who maybe should read the entire article, then read it again, and then consult Google … I greatly appreciate those who message me or pull me aside for genuine conversation. 

Just recently, a local column writer approached me. While our discussion wasn’t about the content itself, and while we agree on really not much at all politically, it was still something I greatly appreciated. To me, at the end of the day, we really are all people.

I’ve said this throughout my campaigns, during my terms in Democratic leadership positions, and currently: We should always strive to do things together. I say that because I’m a firm believer that we always want the same things — we just have different approaches to achieving them.

Over the weekend, I had the privilege to represent our great state at the Young Democrats of America........
