On this day a couple of years ago, I had the most amazing morning in the most incredible poppy field. Not sure any other poppy field will equal it.

Voted for Jess twice. She puts herself on the line for the welfare of her constituents. She stood up to the “LGBT in school” protestors and made me feel like we actually matter. She has my vote every single time.
