There are other exceptional Democrats

While a lot of pundits are mainly focused on Kamala Harris,  Elizabeth Warren Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, Beto O'Rourke, and Pete Buttigieg, Democrats and Progressives would do well to consider other proven progressive leaders who have the experience to be effective Presidents. Two of them (Jay Inslee and John Hickenlooper) are successful two-term Governors. Remember when being a Governor was an ideal qualification to serve as President.  Two (Corey Booker and Julian Castro) have been Mayors in their public service careers. Another four (Amy Klobuchar, Kirsten Gillibrand, Tim Ryan, and Seth Moulton) are skilled legislators. While there are other candidates that have not been mentioned, it is important to recognize that there are very qualified candidates other than the still exceptional ones with high name recognition or the press favorites. Voters should study all these candidates (including the ones not mentioned) and make an informed decision on which candidate has the best ideas, temperament, and vision to bring the country together and move forward.
