A leader who listens and learns

As I get ready to vote on Tuesday, Nov. 3, I am impressed by how Stefany Shaheen is showing up — in conversations, at campaign events and in debates. Every week, she is getting sharper in her critique of the current situation and clearer about her proposed solutions. I love it when people are constantly learning. In these turbulent times, with so many issues that are complex and interconnected, we need leaders who are listening and learning every day. Stefany will be ready to hit the ground running on Day 1 — and she will continue to listen, learn and lead as our future unfolds.
