It is Ohio's Turn to Vote
Next Tuesday, March 17th, is Election Day! Ohio joins Arizona, Florida,
and Illinois in hosting primaries. Use your right to vote to make sure
your voice is represented going into the general election.
In addition to the primary for the Presidential race, there are
numerous contested primaries for seats in both the House and Senate at
the state level. Please utilize this opportunity to analyze your
relationship with your current Representative and Senator. Have they
been receptive to your policy interests? Is their office easy to
communicate with? Is there a candidate who better represents what you
stand for?
Voting is your way to make your answers to these questions heard. It’s also an important part of advocating for prevention.
Before heading to the polls make sure you have a form of picture
identification such as a driver’s license. Other appropriate forms of
identification include a copy of a utility bill, a bank statement,
government document, or a paycheck with your name and address.
Never take your ability to vote for granted. Voting is one of the most
effective ways to advocate and can have long lasting effects on the
communities you serve. Do your part and vote today.
Communicating with your local officials is the main way for them to
gauge how they are doing and whether they are addressing the issues
their constituents care about. Make your voice heard.
