John,

I wanted to take a moment to reflect further on the assassination attempt on President Trump on Saturday night.

As we push for a brighter future in Northeast Ohio, we must remember the power of civil dialogue. Strong words are necessary to highlight the high stakes, but violence is never acceptable.

Our democracy thrives on passionate debate and respectful disagreement. We must challenge harmful policies and leaders, but always with integrity and politeness.

The importance of maintaining civility in our political conversations cannot be overstated. We can advocate for progress and equality while upholding the value of unity. It’s okay to engage in strong debate. It’s never okay to espouse violence.

By engaging in thoughtful discourse, we set a standard for others to follow. Together, we can foster a political environment where impactful change is achieved through collaboration and understanding.

Supporting our campaign means supporting a campaign that values both strength and civility. Let’s set a standard for respectful and impactful political engagement.
