Whether it is economic policy or education policy, energy or immigration, it’s on this ballot in some way. One can vote early, by mail, or in person on election day, but by all means please vote. Our voice is only as loud as our voting constituency when it comes to any issues be they local, county or national. We don’t count if you don’t get counted, so please make it a priority and consider voting for the following:
