Dear Mike,

In 2010, the North Coast Journal reported that you had changed your party registration from Republican to “decline to state.” What is your current party registration? 

— Jeffersonian

Response

Mike Newman

Thank you for your question. To directly answer it, I am still a “Decline to State”. I’ve done that because I had gotten disgusted with the partisan politics of the day, and still, today. ALL views need to be taken into consideration and not dismissed out of hand because they are advanced by a certain “party”. It hasn’t always been, “I won, and you lost”. We used to understand that we are all better together than we are when grouped in opposing camps. Competition is fine if you understand who you are competing against. It’s not productive to burn something down, just so you can stand on the smoldering ashes.
