I graduated from Selma High so I have always known of Terri Sewell's record of accomplishments. I have admired her determination, hard work, and dedication to pubic service. She came back home to make a difference and I believe she will work hard in Congress to fight for jobs, better schools and quality healthcare for all. - Chudy, Selma
