Scott, thank you for posting this. I forgot we can start early! It is so important that Bloomingdale residents get out there and participate in electing our next council member!

I'm going to early vote today. Those of you who will not be able to vote on Tuesday, try to get there Saturday.

It is now too late to request an absentee ballot, but if you have already received one, don't forget to mail it in.

Just saw a nice campaign video featuring some of our neighbors. http://t.co/hVZiy9Vn
