“I’m so grateful that you recognized and stood up and answered the call to serve on this committee,” Legislator Stilley said. “You and I have shared a lot of your own personal journey and I’m confident that you will be an asset to the committee, and therefore an asset to this county, and we appreciate you for your service.”
