Local elections

With all the excitement surrounding state and national election we often forget to take the time to learn the agenda and record of those seeking local office. Our County Commissioners,School board, Council Members and Mayors shape a great deal of our community.

We face difficult times ahead and need to make sure we have elected officials that will be able to do the job needed. Everything from local property taxes/fees, transportation, health/safety, education, economic development, parks/recreation and on and on are controlled by your locally elected officials. Your Commissioners, School Board Members, City Councilors and Mayors are people you see everyday and will impact your daily life.

Please invest at least the same amount of time learning about your local candidates as you have for state and national office. Vote November 4th.
