I expect both sides of any issue to be explored and presented in AJN, but "What Can the Democrats Do for Nursing?" discussed only Democratic presidential candidates.

Although I'm proud of legislation sponsored by Democrats, such as that introduced by Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) urging a ban on "drive-through" mastectomies, I am also proud of the work of Republicans, such as Representative Mac Collins (R-GA), who has been a tremendous champion of perioperative nurses for many years.
