From Monroe County Democratic Committee Chair Stephen DeVay: “President Joe Biden is one of the most transformational and accomplished presidents in our nation’s history – certainly in my lifetime – and I will be forever grateful for all he accomplished over 50 years of public service. He will leave our country in a better place and, today, he cemented his enduring legacy by once again putting our country’s needs first. 

“Over the coming weeks, our Party will make critical decisions regarding our Presidential ticket, but I would be remiss if I didn’t highlight Vice President Kamala Harris’s readiness to lead our nation and continue the work that she and President Biden started. And, of course, throughout Monroe County, Democrats are as committed as ever to defeating Donald Trump and JD Vance in November.”

Hi everybody. Did you watch Lawrence O’Donnell Wednesday? His A block was excellent. I transcribed it because I’m like that. I didn’t want to clog this place up with it, but you can read it at my own blog, here.

It is worth a read. If I find video, I will post it here. Go vote!

Sincerely, Aaron B. Pryor, MTSD
