As a registered nurse and a direct support professional myself, I build my life around showing up for others. I’ve been there for early mornings, long nights and moments of real vulnerability.

With all due respect to Chris Burns on his June 22 op-ed detailing “unfair” coverage of Graham Platner by this newspaper, Mr. Burns need only to look at Mr. Platner to understand why there is so much media coverage about him.
