The Brilliant Beginnings team
A flood of well-known Democrats are hitting the campaign trail to bolster a stubbornly unpopular Hillary Clinton as she seeks to close the deal with voters, demonstrating her advantage of being able to deploy many more surrogates than GOP nominee Donald Trump has at his disposal. As Trump and his running mate, Mike Pence, seek to cover the ground in key battleground states, Michelle Obama -- the most popular political figure in the country -- will join the trail by making her first campaign appearance for Clinton next week in Northern Virginia. Elizabeth Warren will return to the stump Friday in Philadelphia. Those announcements come after Labor Day weekend, the traditional kickoff of the fall campaign, which saw Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Clinton needs the support. Polls show the race tightening , despite her continued dominance not just on campaign surrogates, but TV advertising spending and field operations as well. Popular campaign surrogates can act as force multipliers, energizing voters and volunteers, raising money, and grabbing local media attention in many more places than the candidate alone can visit. They can also bolster support for a candidate among key voting blocks. He will likely campaign for Clinton on college campuses through November, to reach the young people who have been so skeptical of Clinton, Democrats say. Trump was on the campaign trail Monday with Pence but the holiday weekend came and went with no other surrogates to stump for the GOP ticket on the trail.

As the only federal agency charged with promoting the growth and competitiveness of minority-owned firms, we receive numerous requests throughout the year.
The most sensible, practical and surest way we can protect those who depend on us is by making a will. I have assembled this booklet for distribution to all county residents to inform the public of the advantage of preparing a will, outline the meaning of the word "probate" and the course of action required to complete probate. Wills should be reviewed on a regular basis as your situation in life changes such as children, moving to another state, grandchildren, remarriage, purchase of real property, etc. State and Federal laws also change constantly which could mean a revision in your will. Remember: an investment in a properly drawn will could save your heirs additional transfer inheritance taxes and income taxes at the time of your death. For information regarding a guest speaker, please contact me - I am available to speak to any group as a free public service.
