Election Day is Every Tuesday: Oct 14

OKC, ready to improve your city?

Today is very easy, but that doesn’t mean it’s not important. And I do mean today, cause, from what I can tell, there’s literally only one election this week, and it is today. Super rare.

Today’s election is 11 bond measures in Oklahoma City. Bond measures are how cities get the money to repair and improve things. Things like libraries and schools. This is how potholes get filled and bridges don’t fall apart. These elections are not glamorous, and turnout is regularly so incredibly low, but they are how a city runs and should get so much more attention.

This is the largest bond election in OKC history, so this isn’t a small thing.

So, here is today’s election.

So that’s literally all I know about this week, but I hope, if you live in OKC, this makes you figure out how to vote before polls close.

Trump isn’t helping out with anything with anymore, and while blue states are preparing, red states aren’t. You have a chance to make some improvements to your city and he can’t do anything about it.

Your vote is your voice, and that voice is your super power, SO USE IT!
