      The fight doesn’t end at the ballot box, but it does start there. Everyone needs to vote. Vote in the primaries, vote in the general, vote in local elections, & vote in state & national elections. Make yourself heard, & organize.

        This. I don’t care if you love your local representatives. If they are ok running as a Republican, vote them out.

          I wish there were non republicans running. Usually there’s one person running, and they’re generally republican. And no - I don’t have the time to become a politician.

            Yea I hear ya. That was the case in my old township. The same 2 people have been running it for two decades and I can’t remember anyone ever challenging them. There are also two other positions that are always blank on the ballot. No idea if those positions are just vacant or someone wins via write-in. I haven’t actually looked.
