This year, more than ever, "we the people" need our voices to be heard. We must come together and demonstrate the importance of the issues that impact our daily lives. This agenda allows us to make sure candidates work with us to address our issues, not the other way around. With 50,000 voters strong signing this agenda we will hold our elected officials accountable for real change and not empty promises.
