Catch Election Day Fever
What’s the big deal?
Political stuff might sound like a bore, but elections can determine important things like whether or not your after-school soccer team has enough money to keep running or if the community center down the street can host a youth theater program.
It’s not like we’re voting for a new president…
This year’s elections are called midterm elections because they take place halfway through the president’s term in office. They’re super important because a lot of seats in Congress are up for grabs—all 435 in the House of Representatives and 37 Senate seats. If a certain party controls a majority of seats in Congress, that party has a lot of power when it comes to deciding what’s signed into law and what isn’t.
They say change starts on a local level, and they’re right! Citizens in many states are voting on governors as well as other local seats. These people decide when you get your driver’s license and how much sales tax you have to pay on that cute new pair of jeans, for example.
So what could change?
