Meet the Unthanked

Some of the most important work happens quietly. These stories celebrate the countless contributions that strengthen communities and advance meaningful change.

When I moved from NY to FL, I decided to use some of my retirement time to help with the elections. I’m a machine manager each time I volunteer. I go to the poll worker class before each election. I watch for any ‘shenanigans’. So far, so good here in FL!

I wore a sandwich sign saying we need election integrity at the downtown farmers market one Saturday last summer.  I bought some extra copies of 2000 mules and gave them out at that time.   I gave a copy to the deputy person in charge of elections in this county, Aiden Neelon.  He sounded receptive.  

I have written some letters to the editor of the Daily News here in Moscow about election integrity.  

An idea I have had but not yet acted on is to publish a small neighborhood election integrity newsletter, which I would give out at community events or deliver door to door.
