"Hobbies can help us connect with those who share a similar passion, opening a possibility for connections with people from different backgrounds and belief systems."

So fun to finally write this piece that I've been musing about for two years! Honored to have it published @plough.bsky.social

It was such an honor to assist writing the first biography about Margaret Heckler--she was an incredible woman! This article is a good summary about her major accomplishments and why we should take the time to remember moderate leaders.
"We need to look to the past, to figures like Margaret Heckler. We need courageous leaders who are not afraid to challenge their party’s status quo."
