Editor,
With the upcoming primary election on May 5, it is important to note this is the determining election as the candidate pool is dominated by one party. Many of the candidates run unopposed in the November election. So it is imperative that Westfield residents get out and vote in the primary to have your voice heard. Note the deadline for voter registration is April 6. Please visit www.hamiltoncounty.in.gov for current election information.
