I am running for state representative as a Democrat because the party gave me a chance. I have spoken with a lot of friends, many of them Republicans. BUT, like me, they want to get along. They want decency and a government that works for THEM and not a government that uses public office as a stage in which grievances become a TV sitcom food fight.
I am with them. We may disagree on policies, but we all want decent, honest people of integrity that we can trust to get things done rather than hammer the people with whom we disagree to score some points in some imaginary pickup game.
