He feels overall, the 84th Legislative Session was a successful session with many good pieces of policy that passed into law. So come have “Breakfast with Representative Faircloth” and hear what he has to say.
See the attached agenda and please bring your family, friends, and neighbors to this very important meeting for the west end and enjoy a great buffet breakfast.
