“I am incredibly honored to have the backing of the frontline professionals who keep our communities safe and healthy, as well as the advocacy groups fighting to lower the cost of living for working families,” said Speaker Patterson. “In the Senate, I will continue to champion a stronger economy, backing the blue, and defending Jackson County taxpayers from soaring property taxes.”
