I have been told by people who I respect that Johnson will emerge as the progressive candidate in the race. He opposes the death penalty, and he will place emphasis on ‘re-entry into society’ for those who have served their time. We’ll see.
If the stars align, I plan to be present for the kick-off and will report back.
