VOTERS' GUIDE
As elections draw near, citizens want to know what the candidates think. This committee sends an inquiry to each candidate, receives the information and makes it available on Vote411.org. On this website a citizen can check to see who is on their ballot, find out where their polling location is and read responses from candidates. All of this helps voters be informed.
WEBSITE COMMITTEE
This committee has been instrumental in designing and creating the current website. They will continue to be reviewing, revising and updating other tools to support the website. Members interested in Information Technology and / or Photograpy are invited to join.
