Unless you just returned from Mars, you must be aware that the elections are being held on Tuesday, November 4. This election year will be very important to us for many reasons. We will be voting for candidates running from commission seats all the way up to the White House. All of these elected officials will affect our lives in some way or another. Even though all eyes will be on McCain & Obama, it will be the local races that effect us the most. There will be state and federal Representatives, Clerk of the court, Property Tax Appraiser, Commissioners, Mayors all on the ballots. These are the individuals that will represent us and make sure our that our needs are met. So please, find out who is running, pick up a paper, google a candidate,  do everything you can to determine who will represent you the best and go out to vote.    
    If your not registered, you have till Oct. 6.
