🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸We cannot overstate how critical the November 4th elections are. DeSoto County is one of the most important counties in the state and the Democrats know it. They’re pouring massive amounts of money and resources into these Senate races to gain a foothold here and across the state. We must show up and vote. Our turnout will decide the outcome.
