Congratulations to all of our candidates, regardless of the outcome of the race. Competing for office is a huge commitment, and our hats are off to everyone who put it all on the line. Some races are still too close to call, so fingers crossed!
This week's newsletter is focused on seniors and the challenges they face such as declining health, financial insecurity, social isolation, and limited access to services—issues that are especially severe in rural areas. Despite these challenges, seniors remain a vital part of society and the political process, using their experience and civic engagement to shape communities and advocate for policies that improve quality of life for all.
