PRIMARY VOTE IS YOUR VOICE

By Carole Gehrig

 Sixty years ago, my history teacher gave my class this advice: “Be knowledgeable about world, national, state and local issues. If you don’t you will be on their menu! Research the topic, use multiple resources, know your values, and use your voice.” I have always followed this advice. As a retired teacher I want the best person to represent me in our Congressional District 22. My research was to attend five town hall forums where candidates spoke and responded to questions .I learned their positions on items I value, researched voting records to determine not only how they voted, but also the community impact of those votes

Sarah Klee-Hood is my choice. She doesn’t come from generational wealth like most in congress but from a working, union family in rural Madison County. So she understands the needs of the working class. I know Sarah will represent all of us as she is one of us. Sarah served our country as an officer in the military. More recently, she worked with small businesses to create local climate technology jobs. Additionally, she is the only candidate with foreign affairs experience.

I am using my voice to ask you to join me in voting for Sarah Klee Hood in the Democratic Congressional Primary election. You can vote by mail or in-person either by

Early Voting (June 15-23), or on Election Day June 25. Your vote is your voice- make it heard.
