Extremely awkward picture of me with an “I Voted Early” sticker and a band-aid where I got my flu shot. Turns out it’s hard to get both of those in one picture!

There is an advertisement out right now that outlines the many instances José Garza has cut deals with rapists, child molesters and domestic abusers, giving them shortened prison sentences or no prison time at all for their crimes.
