Iowa Press Interview with Paul Pate - Sep. 14, 2018
September 14, 2018

Remarks on Vice President Kamala Harris - Jan. 20, 2021
January 21, 2021
DIEDRE DEJEAR: It shows women across the board that, it is possible, Kamala Harris did not have a blueprint for where she is right now – but she has created one. When she says, ‘I vow never to be the last, I may be the first of many things, but I won't be the last,’ she means that. She has created a blueprint for women who are interested in investing their time and their energy into our political system. Where women rightfully ought to be. Now Kamala Harris has shown […]
