I think people can change and improve and grow. And that we should judge people by who they are not who they were 35 years ago.

That said, we have to have standards. Northam might have changed and may very well be a good man. But he has no business being a leader in our party. He has no business being a Governor. He needs to go.

He can be a changed man in private - a private citizen working to do good to atone for his past mistakes. He doesn’t need to represent anyone.
