As voters ponder who they might want running on the national ticket in November, they are now tasked with searching their souls for the right answers to questions posed at the ballot box next week.

There is also the matter of choosing candidates for the State Committee for the Second Middlesex Senatorial District and Members of the Ward and City Committees.
For some of us the choices are blessedly clear, while others may have difficulty culling the wheat from the chaff amidst all of the conflicting messages put forward on each side of almost every issue. Politics as usual, really.

From the upcoming national race for the leadership of our country later this year right on down to the local leaders that touch our everyday lives right here at home, every single election day is an important election day.

Every eligible voter should consider it his or her duty to get out to the polls and do the thing that makes life in this land such a precious gift: help to decide the course that we are to follow in the immediate future, and play their parts in writing the historical record for what is to follow.

Every individual vote does count, be assured of that. With so many names on the ballot, your favorite candidate will be counting on you to get yourself to the polls and make your choice official.

So, if you can’t get there on your own, then seek out help to get you there. But just get there. Somebody out there needs your vote, so make sure you give it.
