Important Election Coming Up!

I know you all have “voter’s fatigue”. HOWEVER: Perhaps the most important election is coming up on Saturday, June 30.

Nine candidates, including Democrats, Green Party, Independents; basically, anyone who wants to — have signed up to be on the ballot. If we do not have one candidate (Michael Cloud) with 51% of the vote, that means another runoff in September to see who goes to Washington to serve approximately 18 days! Remember, the Congress is only in session for 3 days each week then recesses for 2 weeks before the General Election in November. Then, they break for Christmas holidays.

Each county (local taxpayers) will foot the bill for all general elections. The only way we can avoid the runoff and give our man (Michael Cloud) a 6-month jump on all the other freshman congressman, is to GET OUT THE VOTE on June 30. -Connie Hunt
