About Us
We’re a husband and wife duo who are using our free time and skills to give a strong voice to sensible progressive values.
He’s a non-profit lawyer. She’s an author. When we aren’t working or staying up late at night scheming about how to best support progressive politics, we enjoy learning about old architecture and reading history books (he’s got a yen for anything FDR) and fiction (she’s got a love for Alice Munro and J.M. Coetzee).
One of us has cancer, and one of us has a parent with Alzheimer’s disease. This takes up a bit of our time too and reinforces the need for access to quality, affordable health care in the United States.
Some Winning Progressive posts also appear at the Blogistan Polytechnic Institute and Addicting Info blogs.
We also have a number of regular contributors to Winning Progressive, including:
