Elections and Voting

Getting out and Voting at Local Elections: 

I must first apologize for not getting many posts put together over the last couple of weeks; not sure if I needed the break or I just got busy with other things. Either way, it has been a couple of weeks since I have visited the blog and I apologize for the delay. 

Important business tomorrow at the school: 

2015 School Board Election with three people seeking two seats. Incumbents Wade Young and Brad Oye along with Stan Jung are seeking positions on the Warner School Board. 

Local elections generally receive little or no media coverage, and most candidates do little, if any, campaigning. These elections are also held at various times of the year and sometimes it is not the most convenient due our busy and nonstop lives. These factors alone make for less information and notoriety about the candidates and topics and thus lower voter turnout which is unfortunate for those people running for open seats. 

I'm not writing this to point fingers or blame someone for results that haven't even been counted. I'm hoping to bring some extra attention to the election and increase our turnout. 

So please come out and vote tomorrow. Polls are open from 7:00am-7:00pm and are set up in the lunchroom at the school. I hope to see many of you there throughout the day. 
Thanks
