Who is on the midterm ballot in Hillsboro?

Oh hey, midterm elections. How did I fail to notice that you were just around the corner?

While national political campaigns get all of the sexy news coverage, local elections have a huge impact on our day-to-day lives.  Thanks to our city council, Hillsboro is now a Sanctuary City and has free wifi downtown. Thanks to our school board, school-based health clinics can now provide students with birth control. I don’t know as much about the Washington County Board of Commissioners as I should, but I do know that they oversee a budget that exceeds $1.2 billion each year.

Voting matters, but our time and money during campaign season can have a big impact, as well. Here’s a quick rundown of some of the races happening in or near Hillsboro right now.
