Dear RVCA members, neighbors and friends,vote button

Our City Commission 'Runoff' Elections are next Tuesday, March 10th...and our own District IV Commission seat race is on the ballot and the new District IV Commissioner will be elected on Tuesday! The candidates for District IV are Romney Rogers and Coleman Prewitt, the top two vote-getters in last month's primary elections.

In all, three of the five City Commission seats will be filled after Tuesday's election...that's 60% of the decision-makers who will guide this city forward...so it's extremely important that YOU get out and vote...and tell your friends to get out to vote, as well, even if they're not in our neighborhood!  If you don't vote, you don't get a voice...and in these challenging times we're facing today, your vote is more important than ever.  And by now, we should ALL know that EVERY SINGLE VOTE DOES COUNT!

So get out there on Tuesday and VOTE!  We'll see you there!
