The race for governor: talking about health care

N J Med. 1997 Oct;94(10):35-6.

Abstract

During the 1989 gubernatorial race, Jim Florio liked to say that a political campaign is a conversation--a time for candidates and voters to communicate aspirations and concerns, an opportunity for political engagement and dialogue. An election campaign is a time when citizens pay more attention to politics, and candidates have more personal contact with voters. For both citizens and candidates, a campaign at its best is a time for education.
