Candidates from all over the city are making their bids for City Council seats and even the Mayoral seat. Who is going to be that person who will be representing you? I want to commend all of the candidates for actually being a part of what is going on. Thanks for acknowledging a change is needed, and for being that voice of change.

So tomorrow is the day. The polls will be open, and you have the chance to make sure your voice is heard. I ask you all to get out there and vote for who you feel is the right person for the job. Obviously, after the two hurricanes, many of our polling spots were damaged and we had to make accommodations to go elsewhere to vote. That is the same thing for tomorrow, as many of the locations have changed.

I want to make sure you are aware of the location changes so you don't miss your right and opportunity to vote.
