Why I Voted for Witt for County Sheriff

Polls don't vote. News coverage doesn't vote.  People do.  Get out there and make your voice heard.

Last day of early voting is Monday 11/7.  Last day to vote is Election Day on Tuesday 11/8. 

The Minnesota Secretary of State's website has all the information you need to vote, including how to register on the day you vote, if you haven't already gotten yourself registered.  Minnesota makes it so easy to vote, so please do.

The "What's On My Ballot?" tool shows you everyone running for each office that's on your ballot where you live and vote, and if there are candidate websites, it gives you the link to them to learn more about them.  It's amazingly helpful for doing your homework on who to vote for (and who NOT to vote for).

I voted for Dawanna Witt already in the primary.

If it's a choice between a woman and a man in a position of power, I tend to lean toward the woman as a starting point, but Dawanna also had key endorsements that made me think better of her as well.

The Stonewall DFL endorsement is a big one for me, as it is in school board races.

And among the many elected officials who endorsed her, City Council President Andrea Jenkins sticks out as a big plus in my book.

So that is some of the calculus that went into that decision.
