The word “candidate “ needs adding to the caption showing Pat Miles shaking hands. Unfortunately, Shuette is still AG.
She is NOT the person we need......
I didn't see a "dogfight" at the Convention. I saw the democratic process at work. Watch your inflammatory language, please.
Isn’t this article, in itself, racist?
