  • Partners in the Community Unite to H3AL

    Sussex County Commissioner Candidate Scott Paul has continually demonstrated his commitment to bettering the community. His latest endeavor is a coalition comprised of community leaders, faith leaders, and stakeholders, known as the H3AL Coalition (Highlighting Equality & Equity through Education, Advocacy, and Love).
    “I've been working on this for the past couple months with some incredible people. Topics of racism and systematic oppression have been a priority for me this past year because I think this is such a crucial time for learning, healing, and progress. The community asked for this and I think they will be proud to see what we have in the works. More information on the H3AL Coalition coming soon 🤝🩹❤”

  • We need empathy, not politics, in getting answers about nursing home deaths

    “Anyone who had a family member in Andover knows that it had serious and critical problems well before Covid struck, so to make this proposed ballot investigation a “state problem” solely is so incredibly tone deaf.
    For those of us who lived through this and were impacted so acutely, it is very hard to see politicians claim to know more than those of us who were actually in the facility for years and saw the condition of things firsthand.“
