Communications Commentary

"It was clear [from their reputation] this was not someone I was going to be able to work with... and then we talked for 20 minutes... the more we talked and the more issues we touched on, the more I found myself thinking well we could work together on that and that and that. There was just a massive gap between who I thought this person was and who they turned out to be. In order for me to get anything done, I have to be able to find common ground with lots of other people, and unlikely allies can still be allies... I'm going to put all of my assumptions about people on hold until I've had a chance to meet with them personally. I was wrong about one person, so I could be wrong about someone else. If any of my coworkers in Congress are watching this and you want to join me in setting aside our assumptions and helping this place start fresh, stop by any time... would love to see you."
