Dear Friends,  
    
     Early voting begins this Thursday, October 27th and continues until Thursday, November 3rd. Polling places are open from 8 am until 8 pm. I encourage you to make your voices heard this election and take advantage of the many sites and hours available for you to do so.  
 
       There are many fine candidates and I encourage you to do your research. In particular, I would like to take this opportunity to again endorse Cheryl Landis, as our elected representative for Prince George's School Board District 5. I believe a vote for Cheryl Landis is a vote for better and safer schools, better communication and a better Prince George's County. I hope you share my enthusiasm for Cheryl and vote for her for District 5 School Board. In addition, Ingrid Turner, who has been deeply involved in our community, is running for Circuit Court Judge. She is firm and fair. She is committed to providing everyone in her courtroom with a fair shake, no matter whom they are or where they are from.
 
     The below information provides details for your early voting experience. It remains my great privilege to represent you.      

Sincerely,
Geraldine
Geraldine Valentino-Smith
Delegate, Maryland House of Delegates, District 23A
