To the Journal editor:

The legendary basketball coach Steve Kerr, who most recently led Team USA to a gold medal in the Paris Olympics, inspired millions of people across the country when he spoke about leadership in Chicago on Aug. 19.

He said: “I believe leaders must display dignity. I believe leaders must tell the truth. I believe leaders must be able to laugh at themselves. I believe leaders must care for and love the people they are leading. I believe leaders must possess logic and expertise, but with the full awareness that none of us have all the answers. In fact, some of the best answers come from members of the team.”

These are values to guide us as we think about voting in the Nov. 5 election. For me, the candidates that measure up to Coach Kerr’s criteria are Kamala Harris and Tim Walz, Elissa Slotkin, Callie Barr and Jenn Hill.
