Over the last few months, I’ve had the opportunity to talk with hundreds of Clinton residents about the needs of our district and the community’s vision for how we should move forward.

DEAR HARRIETTE: I'm about to enter my final semester of college, and I'm excited to be done with school for good. Last semester was long and arduous.
