Let's Make That Vote Count
Over the next few months we will continue to emphasize the importance of the primaries and school board elections on August 23. There is a phrase: "All politics is local". It is imperative we turn up to vote - Democrats and our left-leaning no party affiliated contacts - during an election that normally sees low-voter turnout. It is important to build a local community that reflects our values to send a message to our Congressional leaders to represent our interests, which reflect the interests of a majority of the American population.
Take action now
The school board election is nonpartisan, but the Polk County Democratic Party is encouraging support for candidates challenging the alt-right CCDF candidates. We believe the candidates below will work in the true interest of all Polk County students, their parents, and school district staff.
Get involved with the campaigns of Sarah Fortney, Sara Jones, Kay Fields, and Del Quary, in their respective district races. Have them speak at your club and caucuses. And remind every voter they can vote for all of them regardless of where they live in Polk County.
Reminder: To vote in the Democratic primaries, you must be a registered Democrat. The deadline to update your voter status is July 25.
If you vote by mail you may need to Update your Signature. Signature change overtime and, for this reason, this has been one area conservatives have assembled teams to scrutinize mail-in ballots to try to discredit votes. Protect your vote and make sure your signature is updated. |
