ELECTION DAY TODAY!!!

Today is an important day for Ruston. We will set the direction for our community for the next 4 years. Voters will elect a new controlling majority of council members and new mayor. The people we put into office today will lead us towards a stronger community where dialogue is possible even when we might not agree; or back to the days of political games and attacking those we label as enemies.

On a side note, I confirmed with the elections office this morning that Bill Walker has registered as a write in candidate, but Dan Albertson did not register before the deadline. That means any vote for Dan will not count.

So, I urge all of us to take the time to vote today. We have a unique opportunity here in Ruston. Our vote counts for so much more ~ many of our elections are decided by only a handful of votes. Research the candidates and vote for those you think will lead Ruston forward, those who can be a positive influence. Just my opinion ~ I welcome yours.
