America is an idea that keeps evolving—with the potential for a just society where each and everyone is treated with respect and dignity. But for the past four years, that idea and every aspect of our country and democracy has been in the crosshairs. Now, with our votes, we have the chance to save our democracy and move toward justice for all.
I believe that a better America is possible, an America that values our voices and embraces our differences. That is why I am inviting you to join me in voting for the Biden-Harris ticket and for Sarah Gideon for U.S. Senate. These are the candidates who will start healing our nation and creating the America we want and deserve.
I also hope you will join me in voting for April Fournier for the at-large city council seat and Andrew Zarro for the district 4 city council seat. These are the leaders our city needs to make progress on the big issues we face, from affordable housing to recovering from the COVID crisis.
Below is some useful voting information. I hope they are helpful. Together, we can achieve a better America.
