/in /by

Member Russel Geiman attended the recent town hall featuring a debated between our candidate for WV Delegate, Jenny Thacker and her opposition, William Ridenour. The debated was hosted by the Republican Tea Party inspired organization, We The People. If Russ initially expected some bias in the questioning, he was surprised to find that the event (with one glitch) was carried out professionally and fairly. Ridenour, though, couldn’t help but lob some of his signature nastiness.
