Re: “I voted for Trump twice. Not this time” [Jan. 6, Opinion]:
As a former and nonetheless hopeful-to-be-future Republican, I’ve a query and a few ideas for Jeffrey S. Howard on his current tackle former President Donald Trump.
My query: What took you so lengthy? My ideas: I’m a five-time elected, nonpartisan metropolis official. From my expertise and perspective, I’ve points with a few of Trump’s insurance policies, however from day considered one of his candidacy I’ve felt he’s unqualified, no less than by temperament and private attributes, to be elected to any public workplace. At a minimal, public officers want to have the ability to disagree with out being unpleasant. As such I’ve by no means voted for him and fervently hope I cannot need to vote in opposition to him once more this yr.
I agree with Howard on the final election and in addition selected the lesser of two evils, however for me it wasn’t Trump. My religion stays in God, however I’m at the moment not optimistic about my decisions for 2024. I hope each President Joe Biden and Trump are in our rearview mirror as we method this election.
