Jane Mickeriz: We don’t elect people based on their DNA

I read the opinion page daily. Often I do not agree with some, in particular Froma Harrop, but try to keep an open mind.

I was pleased to read her Nov 26 “Please drop the first-elected whatever,” and agree 100%.

This is the first time I have seen this obsession addressed. I only hope the media will catch on.

We don’t vote for anyone based on a candidate’s DNA. Let’s focus on their actual qualifications.

I do not care if the left wants to publicize all their special groups’ successes. As Harrop writes, it is annoying and irrelevant to the public.

Jane Mickeriz, Rumford
