election

This is the first time that I've seen mayoral candidates (or any political candidate for that matter) going door to door speaking with citizens.  I think it's pretty cool.

Four Superior Mayoral Candidates will take the stage tonight at UWS for a debate.  This comes just weeks before the primary elections on Feb 21st.  The candidates are Kalee Hermanson, Mike Herrick, Brent Fennessey, and Jim Paine.

In case you've been living under a rock the past week or so, you know that today is election day in the United States. This is the biggest election involving social media, and there is no shortage of loud opinions being voiced on these platforms.

Tomorrow, Tuesday, November 3 is Election Day.  The Duluth Transit Authority, (DTA) wants to help ensure a good voter turnout and is helping by offering free rides for some of their routes.  Find out which ones, here.

In a lot of ways, it's become a prerequisite to running for the highest office in our country: You're required to attend the Iowa State Fair and - more importantly - eat something on a stick.  While it says nothing at all about the qualifications these candidates posses, it somehow makes them more like us.

The Primary gets underway Tuesday, August 14th. Make sure you know the right place to vote and what to bring with you.

In some countries they don't have the opportunity to cast a vote.  In our country, we do.  However, many don't vote for various reasons.  Some don't think they know the candidates well enough, some claim they aren't familiar with the issues, still others just can't get to the polls.  The Duluth Transit Authority has a solution to that problem.

I think this is one of those years where it is confusing as to what each candidate stands for, what they are running on and who they are opposing. Most of the ads I see are telling you what the other does wrong. If I believe them, no one deserves to be in office.

I remember when I turned 18, I thought voting for the first time was a big deal, and I've  continued voting as I don't take that right lightly.  The Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State has launched a "Now Say It" campaign, encouraging high school seniors to register to vote.

If you've been in Hermantown, you've seen the 'Hawk Pride' signs, which were gathering support for a referendum that would raise taxes to help build a new high school, upgrade school safety and turn the current high school into a middle school.

The much talked about amendment will go to the public polls in November, but St. Louis Country commissioners made an early stand and voted 4-3 to oppose the marriage amendment.

In some cases people would like to vote, but are unaware of where to go.  Also some voters apparently get confused enough that there needs to be a sample ballot.  There is a very useful website that can help people find their nearest location and view a sample ballot for whichever election may be coming up in Wisconsin.
