Runoff Election 2018

Runoff election day is today.  7,066 of you participated in the Republican primary, but only 1,149 of you have participated in the Runoff election so far.  Please make a point to cast your vote today if you haven't already.  (If you voted in the May city/school board/ESD elections, you have not yet voted in this Runoff election.)  Polls are open until 7 pm tonight.
