From: Charlie Shapiro, Democrat for Governor's Council.
TO: Lexington Democrats and independents (unenrolled) taking a Democratic ballot:
In most elections the Governor's Council race is overlooked. On the ballot it's simply called "Councillor". Many are not aware what it is, or what it means. Typically over 50% of voters just leave it blank.
This year, however, you have a chance to improve this little known body which is the elected citizen voice into the Governor's choices for judges, parole board, and a whole host of other appointed positions.
Please take a moment to visit www.voteshapiro.org and learn more.

I would greatly appreciate your vote Thursday and will work hard on your behalf if honored with the position.
Thank you.
