Early Voting Begins Monday, October 20^th 

 Many people have already received their mail-in ballots, and early-voting begins this Monday. I was recently asked if there has been any “official” guidance or endorsement from the state GLBT caucus in regard to our choices: That answer is no and I have not requested one. Our Democratic system of Election does not work if we do not first honor the individual voices of the people.

I strongly feel that creating a population of well-informed citizens is the best plan for bringing about change. It is time for our elected officials to more accurately represent the will of the people in our cities, counties, states and nation. It is under that goal that I have worked so hard this year to give anyone who wanted a chance to meet and speak with the various individuals who are running for public office.

I urge everyone to vote, and vote early if possible. We are expecting record breaking numbers of people on November 4^th and have a lot of new voters as well as a new voting system. Please check the website below for dates, times and locations of the early voting offices:
