Be sure to vote

Tuesday, November 8 is 2022 General Election voting day.

Some will vote absentee prior to Tuesday, but many will be voting that day.

Locally, we have a few very important races that will be decided. We have two candidates running for Town of Thermopolis Mayor, three candidates running for two seats on the Thermopolis Town Council, two candidates running for the single House District 28 seat and eight candidates seeking three seats on the Hot Springs County Board of Trustees. Kirby and East Thermopolis also have a few important races going on for mayor and town councils.

Last week, the IR had an election section which included a wealth of information on the local candidates. If you didn’t get a copy, but would like one, visit the office as we have extras available.

We asked the candidates questions that were sent in from voters and candidates supplied answers. Plus we included information from the Chamber of Commerce/Farm Bureau candidate forum held at the end of September.

Other candidate forums were held, some candidates held meet and greets and many have social media pages they can be contacted through.

If you are still unsure about who you are going to vote for next Tuesday, there are several ways to become more informed about the candidates.

Living in a small community, this may include giving the candidate a call and requesting a meeting with them to ask a question that hasn’t been asked publicly.

Regardless of how you choose to be informed about the candidates, just be informed, and vote wisely.

Our future depends on it.
