Vow to support
It’s gratifying to see that a few of our politicians who came in second in the last election have not let this setback roll back their determination to champion the platform they ran on.
The candidates who lost recognize a problem is still a problem after any election and some are willing to exert the physical or mental effort to do something about it. Their willingness to make a difference assures the speaker’s platform they ran on will not be forgotten.
To win over opposing views, their accomplishment will be measured in how well they handle each situation. Those with different opinions, will try to counteract them in the process. Working along side these leaders is one way we can be proactive. Our contributions and participation in politics supports policy makers who share our same principals and philosophy. We must strive to avoid being governed by those who don’t share our views.
