You get up to the voting booth and while you might know who you are voting for in national and state races you might not have a clue as to who is running for local office. It’s important that you do. And while you can do your own internet search to learn more, there are also opportunities to meet the candidates in person which for many, can be an important barometer as to who they will vote for.
Below is information on upcoming events – press releases and such – that might help you to learn about the democratic process close to home.
