Senate Republicans Release New Video Series Tying Harris to Biden's Failed Record

Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, released a three-part video series on Monday tying Vice President Kamala Harris to President Joe Biden's failed record.

Don't get left behind...On the same day that vote-by-mail ballots were scheduled to be sent out to Florida voters, Hurricane Helene arrived, shutting down a large portion of our state. This is a perfect demonstration of why it is important to request your vote-by-mail ballot. Having your ballot ahead of time is an insurance policy against bad weather, unexpected illness, or an out-of-town emergency keeping you from getting to the polls.

If you do not want to request a vote-by-mail ballot, please at least consider voting early, during convenient Early Voting between Oct 24 and Nov 2 in Highlands County. Click here for a list of early voting locations. Again, if you have an emergency on election day, your vote and your chance to save our country from the radical left will already be banked!
