Dear Friends,
Early voting begins on October 14. It is crucial that EVERY person votes in the upcoming election as local decisions, particularly those made by Wake Board of Commisioners, will determine YOUR future quality of life. Wake Board of Commissioners are responsible for working to protect your drinking water supply and make decisions on affordable housing, schools, and many other pressing growth-related issues. Remember, all Wake voters can vote in all commissioner races. Click here to view early voting locations and times.
WakeUP's September 27th Candidate Forum for Wake County Commissioners was a success! With over 160 voters in attendance we KNOW we helped educate the community about the elections! We hope you will share the forum video with friends as the election nears:
