Carly Fiorina is one of a
growing group contending for the Republican nomination for President of the
United States. Unless you follow politics closely, you may not have heard of
Ms. Fiorina yet.
Carly, a former CEO of Hewlett
Packard the computer company, has never held political office. She ran for US
Senate in California in 2010 and was defeated by incumbent Barbra Boxer.
Why
is Carly Running for President? Here is a quote from her campaign WEB site:
"Our founders never intended us to have a
professional political class. They believed that citizens and leaders needed to
step forward. If you believe that it's time for citizens to stand up to the
political class and say enough, then join us."
She
brings an important voice to the Republican nomination process. A political
outsider with a true global perspective, Fiorina brings a fresh view to the
domestic and geopolitical stage.
Fiorina
comes to the political process in the unique position of being the only
Republican who can stand toe to toe with the leading Democratic contender,
Hillary Clinton, and ask and answer the tough questions with no fear of gender
bias being used as an excuse or defense.
That
alone makes her decision to run for President key in the race for the Oval
Office.
A
call to the Pinellas County Republican Party office indicated that as of now
there is no organized effort to support the Fiorina Campaign, but it is still
early in the process.
Can
Carly Fiorina win the Republican Presidential nomination? That remains too
seen.
For
now check out the WEB site, follow the campaign on line and listen to the
future of politics and governance in the 21st century.
