KALAMAZOO, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Few people take voting more seriously than local elected officials, who say it’s where democracy begins.
They know the people who get elected to the state House, the White House and Congress can have a profound effect on local affairs, especially this time out.
Diminishing assistance from federal and state sources has made the housing crisis in Kalamazoo more acute, and solving it more difficult, according to Kalamazoo City Commissioners Chris Preadel and Don Cooney.
Women’s rights and equal rights may be impacted by the results.
Portage City Council Member Vic Ledbetter says traditionally underrepresented voters need to turn out.
Kalamazoo Public Schools board vice president Carol McGlinn says she would like voters to pick candidates who support public education.
National, state and local seats are all up for grabs on this ballot.
