Vote in Leesburg's Elections Next Tuesday

In a very quiet way, the Leesburg Town Elections are sneaking up on us. They're next Tuesday, May 6th. Here are Leesburg's Voting Locations.

Where to Vote in Leesburg
If you are wondering what precinct you are in, there is a a map of the Leesburg district available from the County. Your voter registration card (which ought to have been mailed to everyone when they registered) also includes your Precinct information and polling place.

The information below is organized by Precinct, Polling Place and Address.

If you're interesting in finding out more about the important issues in this election, the "Council" tag here on Leesburg Tomorrow will take you to many posts on those topics, such as local taxes, development, business regulations and other candidates.

Please come out and vote next Tuesday to support Mayor Umstattd and Dave Butler next Tuesday!

Dave Butler stands for a number of things, and I'll be posting in the coming days about why I support him specifically, but in brief:

1. Dave works for unity and consensus, and has on all the boards and commissions he's served on. That value is something that's important to getting things done on Council.

2. Dave stands for maintaining our quality of life in Leesburg, most of the other candidates in the race advocate positions that would put that quality of life at risk by cutting bone and muscle from our Town's government.

3. Dave has the support of the people in the Town I respect the most - people like Mayor Umstattd, Kelly Burk and Susan Horne. It is people like those three that put Leesburg in the strong position it is in today, and Dave will continue that important tradition of measured and reasonable government.

4. Dave Butler is an absolute geyser of critical thinking and knowhow when it comes to Town issues. I had a drink with him a week ago and he corrected some of my misperceptions about the whole water rate issue with humility and patience, even though I tend to get a little...animated...when I discuss things. And he did so with an overwhelming preponderance of facts, knowledge and evidence he'd thought through the issue from every angle.

So yeah, I'm supporting Dave.
