I am so excited about the great line-up of candidates this primary season. You all will have a chance to meet several of the people running for local to congressional seats this week. In our little corner of the world, we have the opportunity to be a part of changing the face of government.
There is no greater gift that our Founding Fathers have bestowed upon us than the right to participate in the political process.
Nothing is more essential to the establishment of manners in a State than that all persons employed in places of power and trust be men of unexceptionable characters. The public cannot be too curious concerning the character of public men. Samuel Adams
