Letter to the editor: Do your research before voting

Elections are here again, and we all say, “vote out the lifetime politicians,” but we never do. I think I know why; It’s because we just don’t know who is an incumbent and who isn’t. So they get reelected or, if they fail to make the cut, they are given cushy state-related jobs. We just don’t know our representatives unless they make the headlines.

Before the upcoming primary election, please find your local representatives’ names. Judge if you think they should be reelected. If not, now you know what to do.

The only way to retain our democracy is to be knowledgeable. Do something about it.
