Capital politics and personal honesty

I work in politics, which means I've heard every opinion about this city and this state and I'm still here because I believe in the weird little capital on the river. I'm thirty-seven, a campaign consultant, and my job makes dating complicated because people either want to argue or impress me, and I want neither. I want someone who sees me as a person first. I'm passionate, I talk too fast when I'm excited, and I have a rescue dog who's the love of my life until the right man comes along. I'm looking for someone secure enough to not be threatened by a woman with opinions and a career and a very opinionated dog.
