Many Americans are dismayed, saddened and tired of the political divisiveness that for a decade has dominated our lives.

There’s also a rising fear that a president — whose own authoritarian pronouncements threaten our very Constitution — may be elected by only a minority of the popular vote because of the Electoral College.

The post-pandemic American economy has rebounded. Whatever one’s political bias, there is another good reason to vote for Kamala Harris and the Democratic ticket. Harris will govern in a spirit of bipartisan negotiation. It’s a way of valuing multiple voices in the legislative process.

As attorney general from California, a U.S. senator and now vice president, Harris is politically seasoned. She has the background, experience and character to be president of the United States.

On Nov. 5^, vote for Harris and the Democratic ticket.
