Hi Everyone —

Here are some upcoming events this weekend,

First off, I am sure that all of you already know about the No Kings rally in Dodgeville from 10:00 a,m, to noon on Saturday March 28th. As was the case last time in October, the rally will begin behind the county courthouse and then will continue as a parade down Iowa St. This one counts for displaying our resistance to Trump’s ever-escalating authoritarian behavior, so let’s have a big showing!

Next, on Sunday we will be canvassing in preparation for the April election. If you want to give canvassing a try, this is an excellent time to do so! We will be talking to Democratic voters, urging them to go out and support Chris Taylor for Supreme Court. These are generally pretty easy conversations. If you want to sign up on Mobilize, we will give you some training and send you out with a veteran canvasser.

Finally, on Sunday evening Ben Gruber will be holding a meet and greet in Highland from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. The address is 709 Dodgeville St 

Looking forward to seeing you this weekend.

Hi, Everybody —

This is just a quick reminder to everyone that if you plan on mailing your ballot for the election on April 7th, you should get your ballot in the mail as soon as possible. The US Postal Service continues to face severe cuts, and the result is that mail takes longer to be delivered. By state law, mail-in ballots must be received in the clerk’s office no later than 8:00 p.m. on Election Day, which is when the polls close. This suggests that you should take the ballot to your town/village/city clerk’s office yourself, if that is feasible. In any case, don’t let your vote be missed for failing to get it in on time.

And here’s a reminder for residents of the City of Dodgeville. Early voting is now handled at the new City Hall at 410 E. Leffler St., but if you vote on Election Day that will take place at the Iowa County Law Enforcement building at 109 E. Leffler St.

Town of Dodgeville residents will vote in the usual place, at the Town Hall, 108 E. Leffler St.

It all makes me wish that I had a parking concession on Leffler!
