'Our party badly needs more individuals who are committed to careful contemplation of serious issues as opposed to the elevation of bizarre, trivial, and sometimes outrageous matters,' Birmingham resident Bart Starr Jr. writes in a guest opinion piece.
Today the state of Alabama can cite an ascendant young Republican capable of transcending much of the negativity that has gripped a faction of our party. Our newly elected Senator, Katie Britt, is already demonstrating a seriousness of purpose as well as gratitude for being an American. She resolutely holds principled beliefs, yet she respects those who view issues through a different lens.
As was the case with Coach Lombardi, Senator Britt appears to possess a genuine commitment to learn, to remain open to new facts, to adapt to changing national and global matters. We don’t see her engage in unprovoked attacks on opponents. Rather than impugn the motives of others, we hear words of inspiration about what she hopes to achieve as a Senator and what we can accomplish as a unified citizenry.
Bart Starr, Jr. grew up in Green Bay, WI, and has called Birmingham home for nearly 4 decades. He owns a small agricultural commodities business and supports a boys ranch founded by his parents, as well as other charities.
