    I DO not agree with Vice-President Kamala Harris on every issue, but earlier this week, I voted for her without hesitation. I’d like to explain why, in hopes that others who have a history of supporting candidates in both parties – as I do – will join me.

    As I’ve thought about the candidates in this presidential election, I’ve been guided by two main considerations: policy positions and personal integrity.

    When it comes to policy, the contrast could not be clearer.
