“When you've got nothing, you've got nothing to lose.”
A quick look at the visual images currently at the top of local state senator Ryan Ferns' Facebook re-election page
Ferns then explains each of the pictures in short posts.

Does the National Education Association actually care about education?
Earlier this month, that organization endorsed David McKinley over Kendra Fershee
Fershee's priorities and passions
