Why Voting Matters

Many Medina County jobs are in manufacturing and retail, so decisions about manufacturing jobs and local businesses hit close to home.

That means roughly 40,000 adult residents did not cast a presidential ballot. Some are not eligible, but many are, and that is a lot of untapped power. If just one in 20 of them voted, Medina County would add about 2,000 voices, more than enough to decide a close local race.
