‘Liz Cheney is right’

While dropping off my mail-in ballot, I noticed an article honoring citizens who voted in every November election for 50 years. There was Centa Quinn with more than 70 years, and Lorraine Gregory with more than 60 years.

This is what exceptional responsible citizenship looks like.

For most of my adult life, I was a registered Republican. Gifford Pinchot, Bill Scranton, Dick Thornburgh, Tom Ridge, Arlen Spector, Joe McDade.

Now Republicans have turned into angry people. Conservative values and integrity no longer seem to mean anything.

I vote for the person, not the party. Elections are about character, competence, and integrity. I voted for Matt Osterberg. This year I will mark my ballot for Robin Skibber. Both Matt and Robbin are about serving our needs, not about themselves. Like most of you, I stand against any form of hate and discrimination.

Having been in public service for more than 40 years, I know people who have served the public interest. Now, Republicans want to get rid of “the deep state,” people like I was, and replace them with individuals whose first qualification is loyalty to a party and one person. Not the public.

I trust people to make the right choice, even if some may find it very hard to vote for a Democratic candidate. But we must. Liz Cheney is right.
