Patrick Starr
VOTE EARLY – VOTE SMART
I have voted early in almost every election for the past 4-5 years, ever since musical precincts started. The nice part is it is at your convenience, and it is fast (I have never had to wait in a line) You simply go to the County Auditor’s office, show them your ID, they hand you a ballot for your precinct, you vote at at the box and turn in your ballot. A lot easier then trying to find time on election day.

District Races
Northeast: Pat Starr
Northwest: Greg Neitzert
Southwest: Manny Steele
I believe all the candidates I have chosen will be the most ready on day 1 to serve the public. I also believe this group of candidates are good legislators who would build bridges, get important work done for all citizens and support open and transparent government.
Remember, in the council races, a candidate must receive at least 34% of the vote to avoid a run-off election.
Pat Starr on FORUM
I appreciated Pat’s comments about TIF‘s and regulations, it’s time to take a hard look at these programs.
Northeast District candidate announces for Sioux Falls City Council, Pat Starr
Pat will have a press conference tomorrow at the Oakview Library at 4 PM.
While I don’t live in Pat’s district and can’t vote for him, I do support him.
There are also rumors he may have a challenger, but she has not formerly announced yet.
