Secr. Madeleine Albright Endorses Jack McDonald for Congress

(Community Matters) At an intimate brunch today, former US Secretary Madeleine Albright all out endorsed Jack McDonald, noting how important it was to send a young, experienced, successful entrepreneur to the Capitol. Suzi, Roy & Bertand Sosa hosted today’s event at their MPOWER Labs offices.

The Secretary noted how important Jack’s race is, not just for our district (though of course it is here too) but also for the entire country.

I jotted down several favorite lines, including: “I believe in Democracy but you can’t impose it, that’s an oxymoron.” “People want American leadership; they just found American leadership wanting,” referring to the previous eight years.

I loved the recounting of how Secr Albright’s granddaughter asks why it’s such a big deal that grandma Madie was secretary of state, since “aren’t all secretaries of state women?”

In response to a question about a new generation of leadership and style of decision making: “With the combination of new people and the rapidity of information, there’s an expectation of instantaneous decision making.” She was also speaking about the availability of information instantaneously online.
