## Resource

Two recent bills giving a commission the right to remove elected sheriffs from office are creating a backlash. Sheriff John Nowels and 3 other sheriffs are suing Governor Ferguson as a result, and he joins us to explain the unique role of elected sheriffs and outline the unconstitutional power grab the laws create, including the most important: the silencing of citizens' voices!
