As a voter it’s time to get educated

We’re entering the campaign season leading up to Election Day on Nov. 7. That gives voters about six weeks before they cast their ballots. Based on early letters to the editor, it looks like our local city council and school board races will be hotly contested with tough choices.

So, rather than accept what the campaign materials will tell you about the candidate or political party, we implore you to do your own research. Attend public forums. Talk to the candidates or at least learn where they stand and verify your information.

All this work goes into you being a more informed voter able to make a serious choice on Election Day. The future of our community rests on your choices. So, do the best job possible. There aren’t that many days before it’s time to vote.
