Posted on 09. Nov, 2009 by ywwlawrence in Register to VOTE

On Tuesday November 3rd 13,282 Lawrence voters came out to exercise their democratic right and choose new leadership! 

Anyone who has been paying attention to the 2009 Election Season in Lawrence knows that this has been an interesting, exciting, and historic year.  From a record breaking 10 mayoral candidates to the first elected Latino mayor this election has demanded a lot of attention throughout the city, state, and yes…country. 

Although this election has not been about the Yes We Will Campaign, we cannot  minimize the role that we have played throughout the year and the impact that we have had on the process.  YWW has worked diligently since November of 2008 to create a political environment where those who live in Lawrence are respected, empowered, and included in the political process and decision making.  This will not happen overnight and nor can we expect one person nor administration to bring this change alone.   YWW and all those individuals who collectively make up the campaign, has and will continue to commit to improving the political process in the City of Lawrence.  Join us!
