“What do I like best about Bedford? Easy. The people. I spend a lot of my
time traveling around my district to meet with local officials and
constituents and the people of Bedford are always very helpful and give me
such a warm welcome whenever I visit. It is the people that are the heart
and soul of a town and Bedford has some of the best!"
