She's Both Left and Right
Gayle McLaughlin is serving her second term as mayor of Richmond, California, the first member of the Green Party to represent a city of more than 100,000. In a recent interview, she was asked whether the fact that she is Green gives her an advantage politically. Ms. McLaughlin replied: "It’s the independent thinking that makes the difference. One party is moving us into a brick wall at 100 mph. The other is moving us there at 50 mph. We’re still going in the wrong direction, in my view.
She’s right.
