#1 Reason to VOTE
The policies/laws shaped by elected officials affect YOUR life. This is your #1 reason to vote!
Laws and policies at every level of government affect your daily life. Who represents you in making those laws and policies will affect you.
Your vote allows you a say in who represents you. You may not like either candidate, but one candidate will still be elected and will influence your life. Choosing the best person to represent you is better than not choosing at all.
What matters most to you? What would make your life better? Your neighborhood better? Over the next four months, there will be opportunities to meet and hear from candidates. We will cover local races in this newsletter, provide you information, and share other sources with voter information.
