Vote The Whole Ballot!
There will be several statewide offices up for election during this mid-term year, including a US Senate seat and a number of judicial races that are of great importance!
Be a responsible voter, do your research, know your candidates, and tell others about your choices. Former RNC Chairman Michael Whatley says, "Having a 5-minute conversation with someone about your candidate makes them 5 times more likely to vote for your candidate."
