Apathy or Action
We are halfway through the 2025 municipal elections for Waynesville, Canton, and Clyde, which will significantly influence the leadership of these cities. Unfortunately, low voter interest and turnout continue to threaten these municipal elections. For years, leadership in all three cities has leaned Democrat, leading to policies disconnected from the community's needs. It’s time for Republicans to rise above apathy and take action. The future of our communities and our children hinges on it.
Local elections don’t capture the excitement as presidential races, but they are equally, if not more, important. Municipal leaders make decisions that affect everything from local taxes to public amenities and community programs. In Waynesville, Canton, and Clyde, the current Democrat leadership has enacted policies that are financially taxing and ideological. This situation must serve as a wake-up call for Republican voters who are historically disengaged from local politics. This apathy yields harmful results. Each Republican voter who stays home, allows current leadership to persist resulting in the same harmful policies.

Every vote truly matters. In local elections, a mere handful of votes can influence the outcome. By not participating, Republican voters silence their own voices. This affects not only the current generation but shapes the legacy we leave for future generations. Voting is not just a right; it is a civic responsibility. By showing up to vote, we can fundamentally influence the direction of our communities to align with our values.
At this halfway mark, Republican voters need to shake off their apathy and take action to ensure their voices resonate. The future of our cities is at stake. Let’s not allow the costly, misguided policies of the current leadership to go unchecked. Together, we can unify as a community, engage in the electoral process, and ensure that our collective voice is heard.
Remember, every vote matters. Take the time to cast your ballot and inspire others to do the same. The earlier you vote, the greater your impact. Together, we can create a brighter future for Waynesville, Canton, and Clyde.
