This interview with gerontologist Tracey Gendron is a great one to share with family or friends who are fixated on whether people can be too old to serve in government.

This is the kind of clear and deliberate leadership the country deserves. Thank you for giving us Senators who understood the assignment.

Just a reminder to all to keep in mind the upcoming elections in the Senate. It's not enough to focus on the Presidency. Even if Biden wins, any possible Democratic reforms to undo GOP damage will be blocked by a GOP Senate majority. Vote Blue up and down the ticket in November.

Leave assumptions based on age out of the hiring process. Instead, ask any interviewee this question: What can you bring to this job if we hire you?
