The election will be here very soon! Remember that voting is a right folks have fought and died for. Many citizens around the world do not have this right. So please exercise your right to vote. Take action now! Request an absentee ballot as soon as possible to make sure it reaches your clerk’s office in time to cast your ballot via mail.

Once you have completed your ballot you can also utilize the more than 700 ballot drop box locations which are around the state. Although others are prohibited from telling you how to vote, they can drop off your ballot for you. Get some Return On Investment from your children and grandchildren! You can check with your local clerk’s office to find a location near you.

Vote not only for yourself but to honor all those who sacrificed for this right!

Traditionally, we call this day “Independence Day”. In the era of COVID-19, I propose we give it a new name. I suggest we instead call it “Interdependence Day”.
