Who is running for office this election cycle? What offices? What do you know about them? Local elections are just as important or in some cases more important that national elections. After all, this is where we live and work, not Washington DC or Santa Fe. We need to stay informed and involved in local elections.
We have several people who have stepped up and put their names on the ballot. Win or lose, the very fact that we have people who are willing to serve is a testament to the spirit in our County. We will support the election process by giving each of them an opportunity to have their views heard so you as a voter can make an informed decision when you step into the polls.
