My office window was shot at (likely a pellet gun) in March 2023. The person who did this did not know me personally (they were never caught) yet they felt justified in trying to intimidate me & my office staff. There are many stories in media about forms of aggressive opposition to political figures, yet violent events continue to occur. When opinions are shared in written form that aim to discredit or diminish a public figure, it allows for a de-humanizing of sorts. Words matter. They matter in social circles, in media stories, in schools, at universities, at workplaces and in each home. When people move from disagreeing with policy to vilifying individuals, and that message gets AMPLIFIED, then those who have no self control act out on unhinged thoughts. We all have a role to play in scaling back the rhetoric. Although no one was in my office at the time that it was targeted, the impact of the action was unnerving. And the ripple effects it had on the people closest to me was intense. Let’s all do better to dial back and create a healthier dialogue.🌹

Wow! It is crazy to think people are acting like this! I live in the area and it is crazy to think about how much disrespect people really have for others.
