A week later, as I have had time to process everything, I am in somber yet calm state of mind. Beto O’Rourke conducted himself with honor and integrity at every point during his campaign. He boldly went where no other candidates went and proposed policies that were based off of real conversations with the American people. He showed us that politics and moral courage can exist on the same plane. The America that Beto envisioned is a vision shared by so many. An America where all are welcome. An America where we treat people with dignity and respect and where we embrace (not just tolerate) differences. An Americas where we are anti-racist.
