Here’s a quote from Brené Brown, Huffington Foundation endowed chair at The Graduate College of Social Work, University of Houston: “He or she who chooses comfort — over courage and facilitating real conversations in towns and cities and synagogues and areas who need it; when you choose your own comfort over trying to bring people together, and you’re a leader, either a civic leader or a faith leader, your days of relevance are numbered.” Choosing the comfort of pre-screened “telephone town halls” instead of finding the courage to facilitate live, face-to-face real conversations means Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler’s days of relevance are numbered. Midterm election day is Nov. 6. Please vote.
