\nJune Primary Election Ballot Review:
\nWhen the call goes out to citizens to exercise their right to vote\, and make the people'\;s voice heard\, business issues should be top of mind.

\n \;
\nIf you ever worked in your life\, you should feel a sense of responsibility to create an environment in the community where you and/or others can have safe\, healthy\, productive employment that affords for your/their children and future.
\n \;
\nVoting on Election Day is important\, but what is more important is being educated when you vote. Attend events with the candidates\, listen and ask questions about the referendums and amendments. All across the state there are ample opportunities up and down to get the information you need.
\n \;
\nDon'\;t forget the primary election on June 14th. Many races will be decided in this election\, and it is just as important as the general election in November.
