Letter: Re-elect Brunswick's Daughtry to House
Two years ago, I wrote to support Democrat Mattie Daughtry for state representative.

When we moved to Falmouth in 1990, our library was a warm, welcoming place where my older two kids played in the children’s room in the former Iverson house basement.
