Scott and Danya Reynolds, Journey Payroll & HR
Scott and Danya are the newest franchise owners at Journey Payroll & HR. Experience professionals, ready to grow their Journey business and help the Chico, California small to medium size business market with their payroll and HR needs.

Journey is proud to announce its newest location in California.  More importantly, they are excited to announce Journey's newest franchise owners, Scott and Danya Reynolds!

Scott and Danya join the Journey Family from Chico, California.  Scott has been a local in Chico for 30+ years. He attended Chico State and found that the people and positive energy there was something special.  Scott has over 20+ years in the payroll industry and will bring a strong presence of Journey Payroll & HR to the west coast.  He has converted over 2,000 clients in his career in the payroll industry.  Spending the last three years as a pension consultant for an outstanding local TPA firm, he is ready to serve local and national clients with a new and improved way of payroll and HR.

Journey's CEO Kevin Welch says, "We are unbelievably lucky to have Scott and Danya join the Journey franchise ownership team. We knew quickly after meeting them that they'd be a perfect fit at Journey.  It's clear that Scott and Danya want to control their financial future with a company they can trust, and allow their heart and care to shine."

Scott says it best, " I have a passion for bringing solid solutions to the space between employers and employees. My first contact with Journey was with a Franchise owner that shared that same passion.  When you identify a positive and healthy company culture that is small enough to get things done, you want more of that in your life - it's that simple."

Scott will have Danya have three pre-teen children, and they all are living the dream and cannot wait to grow their Journey business in Chico, California!

Journey Payroll & HR Franchise Ownership Opportunity:  Moving forward, Journey will start to bring on more locations regularly. Bringing more positive, family-feel, hard-working people into the Journey family as franchise owners is one of the reasons why Journey has been so successful. There have been many applications from successful payroll business development professionals from nationally publicly traded companies.  These individuals want to take their talent and experience and move into a new workplace home where they can own their clients, build equity, residuals, and live in a culture you can't get elsewhere every day.  Moving forward, Journey is excited to start adding more locations in the near future.

Madison Horn U.S. Senate Nominee OK - Sept 2022

Madison Horn, U.S. Senate Nominee and cybersecurity expert from Oklahoma, is running against James Lankford for the U.S. Senate. She has rural roots being from Stilwell, OK, and is a Cherokee citizen. Her global experience in national security, understanding the impact the lack of access has on people's lives and proven leadership - positions her to provide practical solutions for the problems of today and tomorrow. A race on no one's radar, this flyover state is presumed to be in a red stronghold. However, the current political climate and issues facing Oklahomans are driving a landscape for Democratic candidates like Madison Horn to create an upset, which her campaign, Oklahomans for Madison, says is evident in recent polling done on other statewide races, with +4 and -1 margins showing the uncertainty building in Oklahoma.

The biggest issue creating swings in states like Oklahoma, like seen in Kansas, is the restriction of women's health which Madison's opponent is leading and doubling down with recent statements. 

The following is an open letter from Madison Horn regarding a recent statement by her opponent, Senator Lankford.

"Senator Lankford is drawing a connection to the passing of a deeply flawed, extreme piece of legislation restricting women's rights with rain falling as a sign of God's blessing.

This bill, lacking both empathy and compassion, has brought suffering to thousands of women in our state, as similar bills have across our nation. The rain he is referring to was responsible for hundreds of farmers losing crops and income. This was no act of God, but a poor argument from a failing Senator whose only hope is to misuse religion for his own personal gain. Additionally, it misrepresents countless people of faith who desire a reasonable, caring approach to protecting reproductive rights.

85% of Americans support access to reproductive health services (Gallup 2022) - access that the Oklahoma bill denies. The growing trend of James Lankford abusing his own interpretation of faith to gain the trust of his constituents goes hand-in-hand with the extreme government overreach that he is forcing on others. He is not the first elected official throughout history to abuse religious views in this way, but it is another shameful example of a Senator who has become a mouthpiece for divisive factions and political pandering.

The fact is, women are now suffering, Oklahoma is still in a drought, and elected officials like James Lankford must be voted out this November."
