In my small town, it wasn’t even a word that was whispered unlike the racial slurs that turned my skin brown. (That’s how these words wor…

When there are 9 ⚖️

 Friend -  PowerPAC is as happy as you are about the nomination of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court of the United States.

A New Sheriff in town?

 Friend -  Ben Therriault is the kind of law enforcement leader we need. He won't be the kind of Sheriff who just wants a badge and a recliner where he can sit and rest on his laurels once elected. Ben is about building and strengthening community relationships by opening doors and making sure ever…
