The Primaries are Feb 2nd… Do you know who you’re voting for?

I just wanted to make an announcement here to make sure you go out and vote in the primaries February 2nd. If you’re reading this, hopefully you’ve already seen most of the candidates at one point or another and know not only know what they say, but their past votes as well.

I’ll link this website-

http://www.politics1.com/il.htm

It has EVERY candidate running in the race, at this point.

If you think your vote doesn’t count- think again. My first campaign I ever worked, our candidate for state representative, lost by less than 100 votes… That’s less than 1 vote per precinct. The outcome would have been much different if one person in each precinct had simply taken five minutes to stop at the booth.

And if nothing else, if you vote, and your candidate looses… You have earned the right to complain.

Thanks, and hope to see you all at the upcoming social and at the voters booth!
