OCT. 2 IS LOCAL ELECTION DAY

Turnout is historically poor for local elections around the state. Democrats go to the polls in greater numbers and are stacking these seats over because Republicans don’t run and don’t vote.

If you need to know the party affiliation of a certain candidate in your area, I’ll be running a rapid-response email between now and 8 pm Tuesday. Write to me at Suzannedowning907@gmail.com and I’ll look it up for you as soon as I can.
