Encouragement for voters in Elissa Slotkin's district:
I don't live in Michigan's 7th Congressional district but nevertheless have had the opportunity to spend an hour or a bit more with Elissa Slotkin in an informal, small-group setting that included plenty of back-and-forth conversation.

I don't live in Michigan's 7th Congressional district but nevertheless have had the opportunity to spend an hour or a bit more with Elissa Slotkin in an informal, small-group setting that included plenty of back-and-forth conversation.
For background, let me note that I am a skeptic in general, more cynical than most people, and strongly progressive in my political views. Nevertheless, I was greatly impressed by Elissa's intelligence and straightforwardness and her clear commitment to working for her constituents and the country, not to leverage a seat in Congress to gain personal power or enrich herself. As she put it, "Government's job is to make everyone's lives better." She's a moderate Democrat who also understands the everyday problems her more conservative constituents face, and she's absolutely committed to our democratic form of government, imperfect though it may be at times.
You can look up her bio and background for yourself; suffice it here to say she has the chops and has established her intellectual and patriotic bona fides beyond any doubt. Elissa is exactly the sort of person -- someone of excellent character, ability, and integrity --who should be in a top public leadership role.
If you're in the Michigan 7th, please vote for Elissa. It matters now more than ever before.
