For Those About to Vote, We Salute You
Here in the Keystone State, we've been busy anticipating tomorrow's vote. While some might think off-year elections don't matter, those of us who understand leadership know better.
If you don't vote in the minors, you'll never play in the majors.
Tomorrow, voters across the country will head to the polls to elect judges, county officials, school board members, mayors, district attorneys, and governors. These aren't the headline-grabbing presidential races. These are the races that actually affect your daily life – the judges who interpret your laws, the school boards that educate your children, the local officials who manage your communities.
My father, Charlie "Tremendous" Jones, used to say: "I could write a book about what's wrong with America; but I could write a library about what's right with America."
He understood that our constitutional republic doesn't work from the top down – it works from the bottom up. Every president, senator, and governor started somewhere. They started local.
Local government affects your daily life more than Washington ever will. Your school board determines what your kids learn. Your district attorney determines which crimes get prosecuted. Your mayor sets the tone for your city's future.
When you skip local elections, you're surrendering control over the decisions that impact you most directly.
