Oh,, I just took the post to mean that the persons for whom she chose to vote happened to BE women. But maybe I am naive…?

It took me a long time to vote even though I’ve thought about the issues for weeks.. Everyone who kept coming and going next to me probably wondered why. I found that, in the end, balancing candidates’ statements, styles, and what I know of their performance, values, and skills, was harder than I thought. It was hard but important to filter out the backstage whispering and rumors. I even considered using the “Write In” option to explain myself but I realized that would really be a non-vote. In the end, voting what one thinks is right is hard in local elections when one knows so much, feels so much, and will live with the results so directly every day.

Lets hope that the best candidates win today and the outcomes are not based on race or gender or any other factor that make up the candidates DNA for which they have no control!

Well . . . I was so happy to vote this morning for the women who would represent me. I remember the first time voting and could not wait to turn 18. Valarie Wilson and Patti Garrett are who best represent me and will do wonders for the community . . . they already are.
