Please do your part by taking time to vote in the Sept. 12 primary and Nov. 7 general election. Your voice and your vote count. Ever A lot of people think their vote doesn't count - so they don't vote. Jesse Ventura was behind in the polls and went on to become governor of Minnesota. Because those who supported him turned out to vote.
Polls indicate how people feel about a candidate.
But it's not how people feel today that counts. It's who will actually vote on Election Day that determines the winner. This election is far too important to let someone else to decide for you. On Nov. 7, we'll elect a new president and many new state and federal officials. In Minnesota, the newly elected House and Senate will set the direction Minnesota takes on taxes, government spending, education, health care and many more issues that will affect the future of our state, our community, our company - and you.
