Voting can seem useless when we see what’s going on in Washington. Let’s break this down together because your vote matters more than you know. The word voting means you have a choice between two candidates and you’re vote may just be the vote that swings the pendulum in the direction of your choice. So, let’s take a look at what midterms even mean and who the candidates are and what they “supposedly” stand for.<\/p>\n
Midterms mean-<\/strong><\/p>\n A midterm election<\/b> refers to a type of election<\/b> where the people can<\/b> elect their representatives in the middle of the term of the executive or of another set of members. … Regarding elections<\/b> to the United States Congress, the point of reference is<\/b> the president’s term.<\/span><\/p>\n The 2018 United States<\/b> elections will mostly be held on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. These midterm elections will take place in the middle of Republican President Donald Trump<\/b>‘s first term. All 435 seats in the United States<\/b> House of Representatives and 35 of the 100 seats in the United States Senate<\/b> will be contested.<\/span> This is very important for you and me in terms of the changes we want to see.<\/p>\n Candidates and what they stand for and against. You can go to a number of websites to get a list of your candidates for your state and see what each one represents (ballotpedia.org) (isidewith.com)<\/p>\n Seats are as follows by state US Senate candidates and US House candidates ( do your research ) These men and women play a vital role on the change you want to see. GO TO ( Votesmart.org) (isidewith.com) and put in your state and you can also look up candidates and where they stand on positions and if they passed the courage test. Were they transparent in answering voter’s questions? Some won’t say where they stand on certain positions like abortion, immigration, gun control; some of the more heated subjects that is. That may be a red flag for you.\u00a0 I know it was for me. I personally am not impressed with any of the candidates and you may not be either but don’t let it stop you from voting for someone versus no one.<\/p>\n Governor<\/p>\n State Senate<\/p>\n State House<\/p>\n Special state legislative<\/p>\n State Supreme Court<\/p>\n Intermediate appellate courts<\/p>\n Local Judges<\/p>\n School boards<\/p>\n Municipal government<\/p>\n Local ballots<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Voting can seem useless when we see what’s going on in Washington.
