Official Performance Commentary

Top 50% for Official Performance.

Personal Actions Commentary

Had public conversations with Republican Governor Spencer Cox at Washington National Cathedral and The Economic Club of Washington, D.C.

Communications Commentary

“The idea that we’re supposed to hate somebody because of their political affiliation is not something that I understood, it’s not something that I came up in, and I have no desire of learning that. So I believe deeply that if we’re actually going to get stuff done, it means understanding and getting back to the basic humanity of what it is we’re trying to accomplish and keep that as your North Star.”

Commitments Commentary

The politician has not affirmed the commitments.

Outstanding Commmon Grounder Commentary

Championed common ground in national television interviews alongside Republican Governor Spencer Cox promoting the National Governors Association Disagree Better initiative. Also championed common ground with a Disagree Better video alongside Republican Governor Spencer Cox and another one alongside Republican Mayor Jack Coburn, as part of the National Governors Association Disagree Better initiative led by Governor Cox.
