In the 1998 movie Primary Colors, John Travolta plays Governor Jack Stanton who is running for President, and he said, “I’m going to tell you something really outrageous.  I’m going to tell you the truth.”   It would be refreshing if more people would tell the truth.  We laid out some cold hard facts about Frisco Registered Voters and Elections in Vote For Pedro that should scare the hell of those us who call Frisco home.   Early voting starts in a week and out of a population of 218,314 people we can expect  maybe 10-20,000 registered voters to turn out based on previous general elections. 

We have some very important races that will directly impact our city and school district.  It made me curious; how any registered voters can name all the candidates?  Have you researched all the candidates?  Have you checked out each candidate’s website to see what they are about?  If you are one of those that say I am voting for Jim Bob because that is who I voted for last time, then please don’t vote.  If you are one of those deciding based on a social media post that says “I am not voting for them because they are democrat, republican, left or right-wing extremist” then please don’t vote.  If you are one of those who just blindly follow what everyone else is doing, then please don’t vote.  If you are voting and you have not looked at all the candidates on an individual level to understand what they stand for then please don’t vote. 

The world around us is changing every day and if we are going to vote we need to be responsible for our own decision.  That means you need to research, watch the debates, go meet all the candidates even if you think I would never vote for them. Even if a candidate is unopposed learn who they are and what they are about.  We must make educated decisions based on our own personal views, values, and philosophies after meeting all the candidates.  You could surprise yourself and learn the one candidate you never thought you would vote for is the one you end up casting your vote for. 

Below is information regarding the City of Frisco race and bond election as well as the Frisco ISD Board of Trustee race.  Start with the simple question, who is running and for what office or position?  We put these by place, then the order in which they drew for the ballot.  All you must do is click on a person’s name and you can go their website.
