Your vote is your state and local superpower. Join Laurel Resist to hear how elections at every level can shape the decisions that affect the community and why participating in every election matters. State, county and local legislators make the laws and decisions that affect your daily life including community services, housing, infrastructure, health, safety, staff appointments, taxes, budget, redistricting and more. Individual races can be decided by relatively few votes. Every vote matters!
