As we all know, the presidential election has never been out of the spotlight over the last few months. But is there a race we may have forgotten? What about the race for the U.S. Senate? Do you even know what your options are for senator? If so, could you tell what each candidate stands for or even anything about each of the candidates?
This race is of no lesser importance. In fact, depending on your opinion, it could actually be even more important. Your senator, although is is only one of many members, is the person you pick to really let your voice be heard.
Why is it that we don’t give this race much time in the spotlight? Perhaps it is because it’s no surprise that there are women and men of all ethnicities running, or it could be that the public is unaware of how big of a difference the Senate makes.
Either way, here it is the night before elections, and how many people can honestly say they know who they want their next senator to be and why? It is kind of scary knowing how little so many people know about the other races.
Do your research, because every vote counts as well as every race!
