Obviously in the back one of which would be our County, Commissioner, sign is Ben cool um here for uh County district to, for County Commission. Another great person that's running for office. We have a lot of great individuals that are running and it takes a lot of work, not on Um as the candidates running because we choose to do so, but quite frankly, the thanks and appreciation goes out to all the folks that contribute. One dollar, two dollars. 20 600 dollars, whatever amount and also those that volunteer and knock on doors with us make those calls make those text messages and I know a lot of people have seen messages about you know I'm trying I wish you would stop receiving these text messages, but think about it. This way. Some volunteer is taking that afternoon that evening that weekend out of your other time to remind you to tell you where your voting location is so let's actually be thankful and appreciate For all those volunteers that are willing to do that work for, for our democracy because that's really the reason why they do it and so again, I wanna thank everybody that has already voted for me here in district. 99. I appreciate that and um you know we'll we'll be and I'll be back on facebook, live again to once we get official results, but remember we have a great candidates from Ben ku here in County Commission to stacey abrams that's gonna be our next governor, but all of these concerns. We have about Polling places and having technical issues about what we've seen unfortunately from Secretary of state's office, all of those the best and only strategy to make sure that we say no to those actions and ensure that we don't continue having that sort of administration of our processes and our government agencies is quite simple. Vote voting is what is going to help us minimize those problems because we're gonna have new people um that we're going to that we're gonna actually seek to fix those issues and concerns so the other Thing that I, wanna address you know. I had a couple of messages about well. Our vote. You know, doesn't matter or it's not impact folder is just one vote. Remember, remember that if our vote did not matter, especially in this election, that we have now for governor um for stacey abrams. If our votes did not matter, there would be no reason to have so many tactics um being done to try to suppress people from voting to try to distance disincentivized people from voting so please remember I'm gonna um handout the voter Protection hotline number again in case anyone has any questions concerns or you know of anyone that has questions or concerns. That's 1887 30 50 - eight 16 that's 18887 30 50 - eight 16, please feel free to reach that number because we also need to document um any concerns that we have and so I appreciate you um timing into the facebook live and I'm gonna be rolling around to the other polling places here in district 99 and um hope to see you.
