Choice? What and Whose Choice?

Choice? What and Whose Choice?

The “choice” term is not new to politics. During the Lincoln-Douglas debates of 1858, the two were running for the Senate and both agreed the existence of slavery in existing states was a done deal but they debated the question of free or slave state for Kansas, Nebraska and future western territories. 11/14/2023 11:00 PM

Lexington’s Election Process ‘Flawless’

Nov. 10, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette: I served as the local Republican Party’s official observer (“poll watcher”) at the Lexington precinct for the eight-hour morning shift this past Election Day. In this time of often-credible evidence of electoral malfeasance, I am pleased to report that I neither witnessed nor had reason to suspect the least lapse in ethical conduct on the part of any election officers on duty that day. 11/14/2023 11:00 PM

Thank You

I am so proud to be a Rockbridge County citizen. I want to express my deepest gratitude for the support shown to me in my campaign for treasurer. It’s been an incredible journey. I am excited to start this new chapter in my professional career and I’m looking forward to continuing my service in my new role. As I stressed in my campaign, I will see that all taxpayers are treated fairly and honestly. I look forward to the opportunity to work with all branches of county government and extremely excited in working as a team with our newly elected Commissioner of the Revenue. 11/14/2023 11:00 PM

We will be running more fall colors photos in the coming weeks. 11/14/2023 11:00 PM
