Jesse Houle Quote

A quote from Jesse Houle: "I think we need people to run for office who are uncomfortable with it... So my personal take probably is that you're perhaps better equipped than most anyone to run for office if you're queer, because you're viscerally, inherently uncomfortable with things on a daily basis. And I think that's a good disposition to have in a job like this, because we can't be comfortable in a job like this and actually bring about the changes that we need to see...There's too much happening right now that needs to be changed, for people to be in positions like this and be comfortable with just advancing the status quo. So I think queer people might be particularly predisposed to shake shit up."
