RockyRoadTravel Posted June 8 Posted June 8 I first became aware of Senator Chris Murphy after the Sandy Hook murders. Over the years it seems to be an event, and the issue of gun safety reforms in general, that he hasn't forgotten about, that he has been continually working on. Sticking to an issue, whether it's in the headlines or not, that consistency is an attribute that appeals to me both in politicians and people who I have in my life generally. Consistency. Starting with facts and building out from there. That's the impression I've gotten from interviews with him. Lately I've been doing a bit of reading on his background. He started out as an elected representative in his 20's, moving his way through the Connecticut State House, US House of Representatives and eventually the US Senate. Ideally it'd be good if he had more non-governmental experience in his work life. He isn't alone amongst elected representatives as having found his passion for politics early in life. No one (well no honest person who looks at facts) is going to call him a radical leftists. I'd say he's on the left of center of the Democratic party, he promotes: a single payer expansion of health insurance; gun safety reforms; improvements to mental health services. The health and safety of Americans. Senator Murphy is 52 years old, has frequently over performed in his election campaigns, taking on long term incumbents and winning. I hope he considers running for the Democratic nomination for President. Or alternatively, I hope whoever wins the nomination would consider him as a running mate. Quote
Members Suckrates Posted June 8 Members Posted June 8 I like him, but I also like, Josh Shapiro, Jon Osoff and Wes Moore. Pritzker would be on my list, but I wanna stay away from Billionaires running a party. Been there, done that... RIGHT ? Moving down my list, I like Cory Booker. I am craving a candidate and winner with a command of the english language, whose able to cobble a sentence together and have it be coherent and sensible, and someone who understands and takes us back to DECORUM of our govt leaders. You are statesmen, act like it ! Lets BURY the Trump era and Trump under the rubble of his billion dollar ballroom bunker. Quote
