I was happy to see the article on State Representative John Reily.

(“State Rep. John Reilly shares complete voting record online,” Lake Orion Review, July 19, 2017, page 3.)

I love the fact that he posts his vote explanations on Facebook, as well as on repreilly.com.

John and I ascribe to very different political paradigms, and it’s often hard for me to find rational people who hold his views.

So, I really appreciate his transparent and thoughtful posts.

He listens and responds to disagreements and criticism with intelligence, candor, and grace.

If I ever felt like I had to vote for a Republican, I’d vote for him.
