3 Days Until the Vote

Today is May! Wow! Hard to believe. And we are just 3 days away from Election Day. If you haven’t heard this from me yet, then you haven’t seen me this week – Don’t forget to Vote YES on Tuesday!


This last week in “levy land” is starting to remind me of finals week at college. Not much sleep. Surviving on coffee, diet coke and pizza. And the realization that it all comes down to one day, or “test” if you will. And then it’s over. Class dismissed. And our schools and community are moving in a different direction. I’m confident it will be in a positive direction, a progressive direction and a direction we can all be proud of on May 5th.


And, you know with finals, if you’ve gone to class and done the work to prepare for it, then you just have to show up and do it. You guys have done the work to get educated on this issue. Many of you have literally done the volunteer work with the campaign to get this passed on Tuesday (Thank you! Thank You!). Now you just have to do it – vote.


Make it the first thing you do Tuesday morning. You’ll feel great the rest of the day. I always feel empowered after I vote. It is like flexing my “good citizen” muscle. And it is a privilege. Let’s show our strength as a community, flex our “voting” muscles and get this done!
