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 …   more ›
