Today is Halloween. But what might be scarier than a kid dressed as a goblin at your doorstep is the political season filled with high pitched rhetoric that has invaded your home.

So why not consider candidates who raise the dignity bar, and act respectfully toward their opponent, especially if they line up with your values?
