Ballots have been mailed out and election day, November 6th, is just around the
corner. KPLU is covering many of the big issues our region is facing - from
citizen initiatives, transportation proposals, and major races.
Our election stories are airing on KPLU's Morning Edition (5a-9a) and
All Things Considered (3p-6:30p) but you can also stream them here. We hope our
reports assist you in your understanding of the issues and candidates. The power
of the vote is a strong one, especially when the voter is well informed. The
late John Gardner, founder of Common Cause which champions campaign finance
reform, said it best, I think, when he said, "The citizen can bring our
political and governmental institutions back to life, make them responsive and
accountable, and keep them honest. No one else can."
Thanks for listening. Erin Hennessey, KPLU News Director
