Regarding your article about Candidate visit costs
Dear Mr. Donahey,
I'm currently a speech-language pathologist, but my first degree/career was in journalism. Your above-mentioned article has two errors that I saw: First, you refer to Hillary Clinton as "Secreatary of State," most likely a typo, and second, you refer to Senator Sanders as seeking the nomination of the "Democrat" party. As you used it properly in a previous paragraph, you know it is the "Democratic" party. A person or candidate can be a Democrat, the party is the Democratic party.
I'm not sure if you have an editor, but if so, he or she should also be informed of the correct usage.
Sincerely,
