Susan’s Suggestions for the Elections – VOTE TODAY Tuesday, November 3, 2015

Tuesday, November 3rd is election day!! Polls open: 6:30 AM – 7:30 PM. Visit here to find your voting place, check your registration, ballot info, etc. 

As always, these elections are important.  These are local and as such means that there is the smallest pool of people voting for each office that is up for election.  That means your vote means even more this time.   Issues like tax hikes, renewals and redistricting are all significant and this is your opportunity to show that you care about them and show the politicians that you count.   When officials see we vote, they know they have to continue to earn it.  As always, these are suggestions based on my research. I encourage everyone to know the issues and the candidates and make informed decisions.  Please consider voting for the following and see the expanded explanations at the bottom.

City of Cleveland Heights Council At Large:  vote for up to three out of six:  Keba Sylla, Khalil Seren, and Tas Nadas

City of University Heights Council: (vote 4 of 3)  There are 3 candidates running for 4 open seats and showing them our support makes good sense for our community  and is certainly  an easy choice in a race as uncontentious as this one with good candidates.

Cleveland Heights University Heights Board of Education:  (vote 2/3) James Posch
