13 days to go
As of this morning, there are only 13 days until the United State’s general election on November 4th. No matter what your party preference or level of fatigue with this season’s campaign cycle, we still enjoy a great privilege of having the opportunity and right to vote for our local, state, and national leaders/representatives. I am especially excited this year because both of my oldest two sons will have the opportunity to vote in their first presidential election.
