Your Vote Counts!

Early voting for General Election begins April 30.  Many people have the same mentality about voting, "Does my ONE vote really matter?"  YES!  Your ONE vote DOES count!  Think about how many people say the same thing and then add all those ONE votes in. 

General Election early voting will begin April 30 and your vote will count.  The City of Austin's Mayor and Council Member positions 2, 5, and 6 are up for election May 12.  The City will have election resources for voters.  There will be a list of voting locations, mobile voting resources, votes by mail, voting options for students/military overseas, and even a Facebook page is being made available for information.

The Government makes voting as easy as pie, so why not take just a few minutes out of one of your days and GO VOTE?!  And no one is going to know who you voted for unless you feel the need share that information. 

One of the candidates running for Mayor is Lee Leffingwell, which he is also our current Mayor.  Mayor Leffingwell is definitely my first choice because of his accomplishments for our City so far.  Lee Leffingwell has proved himself as Mayor for the City of Austin by helping bring in more jobs,  has managed to help keep Austin high rated to best place to live, making Austin a green city as well as a more healthy city, finding ways to control traffic a little better, and many other accomplishments.  Lee Leffingwell is an Austinite born and raised, went to UT, has served our Nation, and has been in City positions for several years now.  To me, that sounds like he should be re-elected as Mayor.  The other two candidates for Mayor are Brigid Shea and Clay Dafoe.

Every vote makes a difference and there’s nothing difficult about voting.  Vote today and YOU can make a difference in our government!
