TODAY IS ELECTION DAY

Why Vote?
 
Voting gives you the power to create positive change for your community and determine a better quality of life for you and your family. Voting together with your neighbors, family, and friends ensures that your shared values and issues are prioritized and that you play a key role in choosing who represents us, and where government funding and resources will go. The more we vote, the more powerful our voices become, and the issues that are important to us will be heard.

Our community has, historically, been one of the communities with the lowest voter registration and voter turnout rates. In recent years, this has changed, and we are quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with at the ballot box. So, join the rest of our community and exercise your important right to vote!
 
Top 5 Reasons to Vote
 
  1. Elections Impact Your Everyday Life and Family
  2. Every Vote Counts
  3. Decide Where Your Tax Dollars Go
  4. Fight Against Racism and Discrimination
  5. Protect Our Voting Rights
