Capt Sully Sullenberger, who has abandoned his lifelong Republican identification, says he’ll be “voting for leaders committed to rebuilding our common values and not pandering to our basest impulses.“
We saved 155 lives on the Hudson. Now let’s vote for leaders who’ll protect us all.

Chesley B. “Sully” Sullenberger is a safety expert, author and speaker on leadership and culture.
Nearly 10 years ago, I led 154 people to safety as the captain of US Airways Flight 1549, which suffered bird strikes, lost thrust in the engines and was forced to make an emergency landing on the Hudson River. Some called it “the Miracle on the Hudson.” But it was not a miracle. It was, in microcosm, an example of what is needed in emergencies — including the current national crisis — and what is possible when we serve a cause greater than ourselves.

For the first 85 percent of my adult life, I was a registered Republican. But I have always voted as an American. And this critical Election Day, I will do so by voting for leaders committed to rebuilding our common values and not pandering to our basest impulses.
