An opinion of the Adams Publishing – ECM Editorial Board. Reactions welcome. Send to: editorial.board@ecm-inc.com.

We judge elected officials based on their position on the issues we care about. We may cast our ballot for candidates that most represent the quality of character we want them to bring to government. We often allow judgments to follow the platform of the party with which we align and support. 

There are other criteria we sorely need to bring into our thinking: Do they listen to others with whom they disagree; do they reach out to others in friendship regardless of their differences in politics; do they recognize the problems we face and work with others to solve those problems?
