My voting positions & election thoughts.
FOR
Mostly for me, my friends, and my family. A place to organize my thoughts and share reasoning.
NOT
Hot takes. I’m not trying to persuade anyone.
HOW
I look at the record, question the promises, and explain where I land.
Manifesto
Democracy works best when we engage thoughtfully. These are my contributions to that conversation.
