"If you are going to sell your soul, at least get something you really desire in return. On second thought, is there anything worth selling your soul for? Is there anything worth trading away your dignity, integrity, honor, authenticity, morals, family, community, health,…

Thank you Speaker Burrows for appointing me to the House Select Committee on Disaster Preparedness and Flooding. I look forward to representing the counties that have endured through the recent flooding. I have learned a lot in the last two weeks about disaster preparedness and…
