I love Roxanne too. I don't know what my life would have been without her. She is the most gifted woman I've ever met. Her determination is genuinely unstoppable. She is my hero.

I remember Roxanne as a leader in the Young Democrats in the early to mid-1960(s).

Thank you for this one! The picture with you, Roxanne and Trudy has me wondering what was being said at that table! Oh to be a fly on the wall. Three amazing women!

How many times can I hit the heart emoji? Roxanne's campaign for Governor.....I took my daughter and we stuffed envelopes together. Thank you, Roxanne, for all you've done for so so many. And thanks, Julie, for highlighting these wonderful attributes that are Roxanne.
