Kansas is not typically a state that gets much attention during an election year. It is generally considered a solid red state; however, that began to change in 2014 when independent U.S. Senate candidate Greg Orman ran a close race against Republican incumbent U.S. Senator Pat Roberts.

San Diego, CALIF. - Mayor Kevin Faulconer is continuing his efforts to reduce homelessness in San Diego with his most recent hire, Stacie Spector. Spector will be a senior advisor on housing solutions, working to unify existing efforts in San Diego’s longstanding struggle with homelessness.

It’s no longer cute, quaint or acceptable for the federal government to be so behind the times with respect to modern technology.
