Your Vote Matters
Local elections don’t get the same news attention our federal elections do. In fact, on average only 27% of eligible voters vote in local elections. We can do better than that!
A Few Things to Remember...
-
Local officials make decisions that affect you every day, including policy around local infrastructure, zoning, public safety, schools, libraries, taxes, and so much more.
​ -
In local elections, your vote has a direct impact. Just a few votes can change the outcome.
​ -
Big movements often start small. If you’re frustrated by things that are happening at a national level, take time to focus on what you can do at a local level, where partisan politics have less sway, and community members come together to directly problem solve.
​ -
Many state and national leaders started their careers in local government. When you fight for principled leaders locally, you’re influencing future political trends that will play out on a national level.
From your water bill to teacher pay, everyday life is decided locally. Speak up for your community.
