It’s Not All About the President
(Perspectives on Real Estate and More from a Home Staging Pro)
Next Tuesday, Americans will exercise their most important privilege, voting. In Texas it may be tempting to think our vote doesn’t count. After all, the only stops the presidential candidates have made in Texas were to pick up donation checks. It is pretty much assumed that the Texas electoral votes are sown up; still we shouldn’t take anything for granted.
Not convinced? Here’s the deal; it’s not all about the President. The Harris County ballot is one of the longest in history. Voters will be weighing in on 56 to 57 contested races, bond referendums and propositions. There is an open seat for U.S. Senator and several U.S. Representative seats. There are also contested races for State Representatives and Senate seats. All these are decisions only Texans can make and have nothing to do with how the rest of the country votes and they are decided by popular vote.
Harris County will be electing a new District Attorney and you’ll be given a chance to vote for Sherriff. Two critical positions you should weigh in on. The City of Houston has placed a number bond propositions on the ballot and area school districts want voters to decide on board trustees. It’s not all about the President.
Since the election is next week, it may be difficult for you to research every issue but why not take a look at your local ballot (Click for the Harris County ballot) and pick a few issues that matter most to you. Do your homework, and then go to the polls prepared. YOUR VOTE MATTERS!! Even though this election has focused largely on the presidential race, you have other choices to make. As long as you’re at the polls, go ahead and cast your vote for President too!
Wishing you a quick sale!
