November Election Voting Begins

On the heels of Rowe VS Wade being overturned, the rumblings of recession, and a heightened political atmosphere, this midterm election has the potential for high voter turnout. There are races in Texas that will affect the Federal government’s makeup this November. In addition, if you live in the Linden- Kildare area there are three L-K CISD Trustees up for vote and if you live in certain areas of Cass County you will be voting on the creation of the Assistance District 1, along with a sales tax for its creation. Within this newspaper, we have included a list of polling places and election dates and times.
