We have a few meetings this coming week, but even more exciting is the beginning of early voting for the November 3rd election! Governor Abbott extended early voting, which was originally to start on October 19th and changed the new first day of early voting to Tuesday, October 13, 2020. I made a chart showing the dates/times for the only early voting location in Waxahachie which is at the First United Methodist Church - 505 W Marvin Ave. Because we have electronic voting, you can vote at any location in Ellis County. Here is a link to view those locations: http://www.co.ellis.tx.us/DocumentCenter/View/11929/Early-Voting-and-Election-Day-Locations-11-03-2020?bidId=
This is a picture of the sample ballot for the Waxahachie City Council race. As you can see, we are now divided into places and voters are instructed to choose one candidate per place. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me. Texting my cell is probably the best way to reach out. That number is 817-507-5162. I'm available via Facebook and Nextdoor as well, but I don't always see those messages as quickly.
