Last month's election was especially exhausting and caused many to temporarily disconnect from politics. We can't, however, disconnect from fighting for our local communities to have better resources, services and leadership.

 

This month, the Commission District 7 race will appear on a special election RUNOFF ballot, making participation especially important. 

​
