Speak Out

Getting your concerns heard during an election

Just as it is part of every politician’s duty to represent his or her constituents in providing essential government services, it is also your duty to make your representatives aware of problems and concerns that exist in your community, areas that are in need of improvements, issues they might not notice from behind their office desk. Check out a the.News video report that shows how students in Philadelphia discussed their concerns and got candidates for mayor to discuss them during a citywide forum. What are some ways in which you can communicate your concerns during the election? How are some ways you can find out which issues are most important to you and the community? Which issues would you like to talk to your officials about?
