There IS a choice to be made in November.

All elections are important, but presidential elections are special. We’re asked to choose the public face of our country—the people who represent us on the world stage—as well as the direction of all our national policies. We have to make difficult decisions about who should be in charge of international trade, immigration, taxation, healthcare, the climate crisis, and dozens of other issues that impact our lives in ways big and small.

But we’re also asked to choose the people who represent our interests in federal, state, and county government—the people who make the laws we have to live by, and decide how our hard-earned tax money is spent.

And we’re even asked to choose the people we trust to provide justice for all: the constables and sheriffs who patrol our neighborhoods and control our jails; the judges who hear and rule on our cases.

You’ve probably heard that elections can be decided by a single vote.

The truth is, every election is decided by a single vote, and tens, hundreds, thousands of individual voters like you, all deciding to cast their ballots together for their country, their communities, their families, and their values.

Your vote matters.

The candidates below share our Democratic values, values that we know will benefit everyone in our communities. Get to know them. Remember their names. And when you vote, don’t stop at the top. The races that directly impact San Patricio County voters are the last ones on you ballot.
