B. Stoddard, columnist and associate editor at RealClearPolitics.

Neal Simon ran as an independent candidate for the US Senate in Maryland in 2018. His new book is Contract to Unite America: Ten Reforms to Reclaim Our Republic. In it he provides what he calls “specific, practical solutions for an improved government, and a better tomorrow.”
