Statistically, it's a sound bet that anyone with a secondary education isn't down with Trump's party.

I believe that there are two genders. I do believe that same-sex couples should have the right to marry, but that is because that marriage and family are values held constant for thousands of years and would alleviate child poverty a lot more than any government programs would. I am for charity and benevolence of individuals and churches before government. I believe that our freedoms are uniquely American and come with the responsibility to protect our way of life through responsible immigration policy.
In generally, I believe that regulations do more harm than good.

I live in Takoma Park.

You may have walked or cycled by my house. It's a cute bungalow that had a Larry Hogan sign outside at one point. I may have stood behind you in line at the Food Co-op. Maybe you have seen me at the Farmers Market one Sunday afternoon. I frequent Mark's Kitchen, Republic, and Bev Co. I like to see our small businesses thrive.

If you've met me, I have always been polite, even though there is a 9 out of 10 chance we disagree on politics. I am well acquainted with Congressman Raskin and have had friendly chats with him when I've seen him walking his dog with his wife.

I have met County Executive-elect Elrich and commend his choice to drive a zero-emissions Nissan Leaf, an innovation brought to us by the free market, I might add.

I'm just your friendly Takoma Park Republican. I am blessed to live here where I have met hundreds of people - many of them have become good friends - with perspectives and views with which I disagree with.

In a country that has gotten more polarized and divisive with every election cycle, I urge others to do the same.

I work for the County. We do have one regular anti-immigrant conservative who writes in from Takoma Park. So there is at least one.
