Catherine James for Travelers Rest City Council

I have worked as an Election Poll Manager for quite a number of years and for various elections including primaries and generals, and for local, state, and national elections.  The voting precinct is truly one of my favorite places to be on election day not only because I love to vote, but also because I enjoy watching citizens exercise their fundamental right to make their voices heard.  Sadly, voter turnout is never what it should or could be.
