Dear Reader,
Each year as November arrives, I can’t help but reflect on the year gone by. As the air grows crisp, I grow more and more introspective – do forgive me. While our pages are dedicated to dissecting the political landscape, I wish to stray for just a moment to express my gratitude.
I’m thankful for chilly weather, warm cups of tea, and cable-knit sweaters. I’m thankful for red and yellow leaves and snow-capped mountains. I’m thankful for lists, which I’m all too prone to make. I’m thankful for the humor and resilience provided by peers, mentors, parents, and friends – each day they teach me that life goes beyond the insular world of the 24-hour news.
I’m profoundly grateful for the talented writers and staff that keep the Political Review afloat. I couldn’t do it without them. Our conversations and interactions teach me to think differently every day.
Finally, I’m thankful for you, reader, for your support and your curiosity. Your continued readership fuels our passion for politics, writing, and pop-culture references. Thank you for being part of our community.
Warm regards,
Megan Baird
Editor-in-chief
