Being an adult comes with a lot of responsibilities. One of those responsibilities is using your voice in your community. Our nation has gone through multiple decades where there have been different laws regarding who should and should not vote. We should take pride in how far we've come and utilize our say in local and national politics.
On November 3rd, 2015, citizens of Haverhill will be voting for City Council, School Committee, and Mayor. Being an active member of the community is finding a candidate you’re interested in and supporting him or her, whether by simply voting or by getting involved with their campaign. You can help these candidates campaign by holding signs up, calling houses to share the candidate's message, or even telling your friends and family to vote on November 3rd.
It is important to vote because who ever wins will have a say over everything that happens for the next few years. As young adults, we have the right to choose who should have making those decisions. We are the future of this community and we should have a say in what goes on.
