In just under 43 days, we have an opportunity to make our voices heard. On the November ballot is everything from city propositions and charter changes to who will be our next sheriff, judge, State Board of Education representative and well as who will represent us in the federal and state house and senate. The people in these positions are making important decisions that impact our lives. PLEASE spend time getting to know a little about the candidates in your area and make a voting plan.

THE ANSWERS YOU NEED ABOUT THE MONEY IN STATE POLITICS

09/19/2024

I found an article co-authored by Debra Katz, Jennifer Wilsom and Stephan Graham that explored our civic responsibility to vote. I share a portion of it here and ask you to ensure you are registered and have a plan to vote (early or Election Day, November 5). If you need help, reach out to me and my team. Together we win!

Letter to the Community: Voting is a Civic Duty
The right to vote is fundamental to protecting, asserting and expanding our other rights. Almost all of the social and economic rights Americans enjoy today — including Medicare and Medicaid, the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act, the Occupational Health and Safety Act and the Clean Air Act — exist because citizens elected public officials who voted to enact them.

Here, we offer five main reasons for voting:
1 We build and sustain our democracy with votes. Through our votes, we express what we as citizens think is in our collective interests; we empower officials to act in our name to promote those interests.
2 It’s the power of the vote that keeps our elected officials accountable.
3 If only some people vote, elected officials are likely to give less weight to the interests and views of non-participants. Studies show that young voters, along with citizens with lower levels of income and education, are less likely to vote.
4 It is sometimes said that no one person’s vote makes a decisive difference. But each person’s vote makes our democracy more representative of the will of its citizens. In close local elections, small numbers of votes can be decisive.
5 Our country (and our world) faces very significant challenges that require the action of government: climate change, inequality, racial injustice, global conflict, terrorism and poverty. It is essential for you as a citizen to vote on the basis of your informed views about those candidates who offer the best public policy responses to these challenges.
