Elections are always happening

local elections have the most direct impacts on our lives.

Rural small towns across the US present an incredible amount of opportunity. Currently, power is often grabbed by a small group of friends in true “good ‘ol boy” fashion because local elections are not highly publicized, and candidates often run uncontested.
We aim to change that in Cleveland County.
IN 2023, just 7.25% of voters turned out for Cleveland County municipal elections.
