of Moderation
I have always been an Independent Moderate, never belonging to a political party.

In this commentary, I discuss being an Independent Moderate from my perspective. In short, be a voice of moderation.

Remember Gun Violence When You Vote
Most of us were saddened to learn about another mass shooting. And now a bit later, many will also say to themselves, “nothing I can do about it”. And while they go back to day to day lives, the families and friends of those killed are never the same. Nor are the lives of the…
Congressman Jordan is Not Qualified to be Speaker of the House.
Like many independent moderates, over the years I voted for both Democrat and Republican candidates.
