Hi John,

I have been under the weather the past few weeks, but am rounding into shape just in time for Labor Day weekend. I can’t wait to spend some QT with family and friends. I’ll try to keep the conversation light, but at some point, politics will come up. It always does!

I think we forget sometimes what a presidential election is really all about. It’s our chance to decide who we want to hire for the most important job in the world. And this whole campaign is one long extended interview.

In America, our president is both head of state and head of government for the United States. That means managing everything from enforcing laws created by Congress to leading our armed forces, appointing key officials, negotiating with other nations, and making executive decisions on priorities like the environment, health care and trade.

When the talk inevitably gets political this weekend, conversation may turn to the horse race – who's up, who’s down – or the scandal du jour. But none of that matters to me. I want to know, and I am sure you do too, what decisions Kamala Harris or Donald Trump would make when they have to sit in the Oval Office.

I want to know, when both candidates say we need “unity,” what’s their actual plan to achieve it? Would they be willing to commit, for example, to asking the Senate to retain the filibuster to prevent a majority party from passing major changes with a bare 51 votes?

I’m in my 30s, so I’d like to know how they plan to reduce the massive debt that will fall hardest on our generation and that of my children.

Above all, I’d like to know their plans to keep America safe in an increasingly dangerous world.

These are big questions because being President is a big job. As you gather with your loved ones this weekend, let’s have the courage to ask these questions, engage in thoughtful discussions, and think about who’s the right fit for this enormous responsibility.

I hope you have a fantastic, safe Labor Day weekend. Let’s enjoy the good food and company, and maybe even sprinkle in a little conversation about the future of our country.
