This year of 2026 is an election year not only for our local but for the nation as well.  When it comes to the local, taking part in the local elections can be a great way to make a difference in your local and will guarantee that the most qualified will be voted into office and it will be thanks to all of you for making that choice.  Nationally, we are looking at midterm elections with the House of Representatives and Senate positions coming up.  We are looking at many state positions coming up as well.  Voting in the midterm elections is another great way to have your voice be heard and make a difference in your state and national government.  It is your right and duty to vote in elections and take part in the process.  I hope you all take your time and get out and vote on November 3, 2026.  Be safe out there.
