Why Your Vote Matters

Voting in National Elections is important, but the "down-ticket" races for City Council and School Board are the elections for candidates that have the most direct and immediate impact on your day-to-day life.

These are races that will determine the future of our schools, roads, local tax policies and other important "quality of life" issues.

​

In more recent times, campaigns have been decided by only a handful of votes and the closer to you the government office is, the more your vote matters!
