3. I think Cheney did the right thing, but I don't think she's a hero.

Her job was to uphold the US Constitution, and I’m glad she didn’t go along with Trump when he lied about the election and tried to overthrow our government. But up until that time, she voted in lockstep with Trump.

I tried to see who were previous winners of this award, but couldn’t locate this information.

My choices to win an award would be the Capitol police officers who fought against the insurrectionists on Jan 7, many of our election workers who have risked their own safety to uphold free and fair elections, and media personalities/contributors who speak out against Trump’s discriminatory, inhumane and bad policies that only Benefit Trump, his family/friends and the wealthy.
