It’s Election time! This November, Texas will be having its midterm elections... Texans are preparing to get a say in local races and propositions, city races and statewide elections.
WHAT’S A MIDTERM ELECTION?
This is what many refer to as an “off-year” election, but on the contrary, these are the elections where Texans take the most on. Midterm elections determine the many state leaders who hold the power to change just about anything that happens right outside our doorstep. Up to the plate are the following offices: the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, comptroller, land commissioner and agriculture commissioner, all U.S. representatives, state senators, state representatives and members of the State Board of Education. Not to mention, many communities in our state will also hold elections for city council, county offices, school board offices, and propositions.
By voting, you are participating in the democratic process. Citizens vote for leaders to represent them and their ideas, and the leaders support the citizens' interests. I encourage you to exercise your right to vote in your community!
