You're getting there. These letters suck to write.
I'd actually recommend asking someone who knows you well and understands what you can offer this sort of job to write a draft of the letter for you. Sometimes our friends are better at singing our praises than we our.

The issue isn't what positions you're taking. In fact, it will be an advantage that you take unpopular positions and have a substantial track record of doing so. The way you wrote it initially will set off red flags that you want to use their platform to grind your ideological axe.
It's a bit of a fine line, but you want it to be clear that you have no sacred cows and will push back on anything that is at odds with the available evidence, rather than that you're coming in to push for a particular perspective.
