All Denver voters who have a team still in the game are tense as the final seconds of the game tick down.  The May 5, 2015 winners are still ahead and although some of the fans of both teams have already left the arena – some because the game appeared so out of reach for the opponent to possibly make a comeback before the final minutes ticked from the clock and others who had conceded the win to the apposing team because they felt that it was too late for their team to come back and win, the diehard fans have remained to the bitter…or sweet end.

Those fans who left hear a sudden roar from the crowd so make a u-turn and try to reenter the arena but it is too late; the gate attendants refuse to let them back in: they have squandered their chance to be a part of this great moment.  The goal line teams for the defense and offense are in.  Sean Bradley is under center for the offense and Stacy Gilmore has called out the defensive signal for the defense.

It is forth down and the stage is set as the final seconds continue to tick off of the clock.  This is it; this is the ballgame.  One team will win and one will go home empty-handed to lick their wounds until they earn the next opportunity to compete for this coveted prize.  Will it be a running play or will they attempt a quick pass?  Sean Bradley commences to call the count.

Twooooo, sevennnnn, tennnnn, elevennnnn, hut!  It’s a run!  Bodies come together in one massive heap as the runner tries to carry the ball off tackle.  The officials rush in and begin to pull bodies from the pile to determine if the ball crossed the goal line.  They finally reach the running back and discover the position of the ball.  An official steps back to give the official call.  As the crow holds its collective breath the official signals…

I call upon voters in Denver districts two, seven, ten and eleven to realize that the election is still ongoing so we need to make sure that our follow-through is adequate.  In order for that to be the case, we can only complete our civic duty by voting in the runoff election on June 2nd.  Once we have voted we can relax until the next election.

Although there are only seven (7) voting days left before the polls close for good on this election there is still plenty of time for you to cast your ballot.  Keep this in mind as you contemplate what you want for your community, what you want it to look like in the foreseeable future and who you believe can best lead it in the effort to reach that goal.

Since I live in District 11 I especially want to leave those in our community with the message to keep working because we are not there yet!  To all of those who still have candidates in the race that they are supporting I say always remember, your vote is the most important one of all…unless you don’t use it!

Assure ahead of time that you know where you can either vote or drop off your ballot and then be sure to vote on or before June 2nd.
