wont matter. Not true. Several elections in our city have
turned on just a few votes. Everyones vote matters.
When you participate by voting, you have more ownership of
your community its just that simple.
What Council Positions Are You Voting For?
In both the primary and the general election, youll be selecting
your choices for mayor, three at-large city council persons and
one council person from your own district. Theyre all critical
choices and they all represent you and are accountable to you.
