Friday Feature: Walk Across Connecticut

In a time where most of the news about politics and elected officials leaves me shaking my head (to say the least), it was really refreshing to read a good news piece -- or a series of them, actually -- about a politician who wants to listen to what his constituents have to say. This final entry in the series on Medium about Senator Chris Murphy's Walk Across Connecticut is short on political rhetoric and long on pictures of his home state and the people he represents. My favorite part is his reflection at the end of this piece on the advice he received from a veteran senator but, you're like me, you'll find yourself going back to the beginning to see the whole trip and read the whole story.

Wishing you a wonderful weekend, even if (or perhaps especially if) you're not walking across your state.
