It is that time of year and as I am sure you are aware there is a mayoral race upon us. In some cases you may have felt in the past that your vote doesn't count or that you are in the minority so it wouldn't matter anyway. In this race(the primary) this couldn't be further from the truth! The city expects no more than 2000 people to vote in the primary! 2000! That means that every vote is worth 1/2000 of the vote! If you want your voice to be heard now is the time!
