Dear Friends,

Election Day is almost here.  And I’m here today to remind you that your vote is not just your right but your responsibility.  This year, we have Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump running for the highest office in the land. Both candidates represent very different visions for the future of our country, and whichever direction you believe is best, your voice must be heard in this process.

Why is it so important to vote?

Voting is about more than just choosing the next president. It’s about deciding on policies that will affect your life, your family, and your community for years to come. When you vote, you’re making decisions about issues that matter—like the economy, taxes, healthcare, education, and our role on the world stage. Whether it’s the cost of living, the quality of schools, or the future of Social Security, your vote has a direct impact on the future of these issues.

Every vote counts. We’ve seen elections in the past where the outcome was determined by a slim margin of votes. It’s easy to think that your vote doesn’t make a difference, but when millions of people think that way, change doesn’t happen. Your vote has the power to shape the future.

Why is this year especially important?

The 2024 election is shaping up to be one of the most significant in recent history. Vice President Kamala Harris, offers a vision focused on progress in healthcare reform, climate action, and social justice. Former President Donald Trump advocates for a return to his policies that prioritize strong borders, energy independence, and economic freedom through deregulation and tax cuts. Both candidates offer very different visions for America’s future.

Your vote could determine the direction of the country for years to come, especially here in Georgia, where the outcome could decide the entire race. Whether you support Kamala Harris or you back Donald Trump, your vote is your voice in shaping that future.

And it’s not just about the presidency. Local and state elections play an important role in your daily life. From city council members to judges and school board representatives, these elections determine how local tax dollars are spent, what kind of education your children receive, and how justice is served in your community. Every level of government matters.
