It doesn't matter whether this candidate is Democrat or Republican. Once in office, they are your employee. I think she should make every effort to listen to your concerns and views.

I was speaking in terms of maintaining communication between opposing political factions.
BTW: People generally think I am a fool when I want to know how a candidate for local office stands on national issues such as abortion. But, my working assumption is than any office holder, no matter how lowly the office, wants to be president someday. I would much rather defeat a candidate whose ideas I don’t like when he is running for local office than have to worry what he may do in the White House.
