"If I say something is best for everyone, that it’s in the common good, I need to remember I don’t know that that’s true. " Thank you for this thoughtful reminder to bring some humility to our discussions - and to always include listening.
Just found out about you. Thank you for standing. The meaning of "common good" has escaped many who the phrase forgetting that "common" and "good" are the words being used. There is nothing "good" that has been common amongst all that has taken place.
I am SO glad I found this and you! Thank you for running and for sharing your ideas in such a brave and open way. I've always hated elections and voting because it has seemed so void of community, kindness and truth, and I'm actually excited to vote this time! To me, you've already won!

Wise, wise words Sarah! Thank you for the clear challenge on what each of us means by "common good."
