Read More About Mary's Lapses in Judgement
It's hard to believe Mary was only sworn into office in January 2023. She's sure made the news a lot so far!

School Board Chair, Jen Westmoreland, Partner of County Attorney Mary Moriarty
Guess what? Mary and her partner, Jen Westmoreland, are trying to make things worse for all of us! Although she's unqualified and there's an extreme conflicts of interest, Mary's partner is running to somewhat be her boss!
