I want my lawn sign
fine but lets hope we have a real election with an opponent … so tired of the mere coronation of our representatives with zero opposition
Outstanding! A gentleman with integrity, compassion and intelligence. He truly represents his constituents.
maybe if he could fix the problems he promised first , I might consider but definetely not in same class as Jim Seward
Jim Seward will be so missed . Not sure there is someone who can really fill those shoes successfully! Jim Seward is a class act
Senator Seward was a great voice for our community, but a change is needed. I think Fulton farmer Jim Barber will be an excellent choice come November.
