Congratulations, Zach! Any chance of a Bates reality show on TV? That would be interesting to many of us.

God Bless You Zack! We need more Christians to step up to the plate and run for public offices on all levels. I held local public office for many years, keep trusting in our Lord as you and your family always have, he will continue to lead your way.
