    Please elaborate on what sets this election apart.

    Thank you

    • Both political parties, literally, have everything at stake in this election and the battle for control of congress is a battle between two distinct visions for the direction of our country. The republicans need to maintain control of the house and senate to continue President Trump’s agenda of putting America first, continuing to grow the economy and keeping unemployment low, while democrats are fighting to wrest control of congress to stop him from doing so and, according to several prominent democrats, enable them to begin impeachment proceedings, something they have wanted to do since the day he was elected. Whichever side you are on, anyone paying attention to politics and the direction of the country will want to, and should, cast their vote.
