Day 77 - March 26: Town Election

Recently, my sister-in-law, Rachel worked tirelessly on a campaign to fund a badly needed new middle school in their city.  Thousands of people voted and her side won by just six votes.  Before that, my parents campaigned for a new library in their town and again, their side won, but by something even less than six.  Today our town held elections for a number of posts.  With only one contested race, it would have been easy enough to blow off.  Their stories, though, reminded me that every vote really does count.
