PLA Election
by Lance Werner 31 Mar '25

31 Mar '25

Good morning, I wanted to take a moment to endorse both candidates for the PLA President-elect election. Jamar and Nate are both incredible candidates. I don't think you can make a bad choice. I wanted to vote for Jamar but voted for Nate because of his long track record of successful advocacy. Nate has been at the forefront of advocacy efforts in Arkansas. I wish you all a terrific week!
