Tuesday, November 4, 2025, is Election Day in my community (Woodbury, ISD #833, Senate District 47).  I voted on October 16; my personal recommendations and my rationale are here: succinctly, my choices State Representative Amanda Hemmingsen-Jaeger for State Senate; School Board incumbents, Katie Schwartz, Louise Hinz, Sharon Van Leer and first time candidate Elizabeth Bockman Eckman.

There are relatively few elections tomorrow.  This isn’t a Presidential election year; nor is it the off-year election, which is 2026.  Every election is important.

Virtual certainty tomorrow is the prospect of a lower than normal voter turnout, which has its own implications.  Non-voters can easily decide elections as certainly as voters do.  In a representative democracy, which we still are, whether you vote or not matters, a great deal.

For sure, vote, and cast a well informed vote tomorrow.

As I always do, Wednesday I’ll be most interested in the number of eligible voters, and how many actually voted, and who the majority elected.
