The disability vote MATTERS!
In 2019, we have data that Wicomico County was home to over 12% people with disabilities. 12% of our county! Anyone can acquire a disability at any point. COVID-19 has created an increase in our disability community, as well.
Our elected officials are the ones who make decisions that impact us. When it comes to local elected officials, it matters a lot who represents us. Our Mayors and Councilmembers, for example, are the ones who are creating local legislation, budgets, and engaging with the community.
Local elected officials are the ones who are not only in the community the most, but the ones who understand the community needs. When it comes to the disability community, we need elected officials who understand and will work towards creating the access and inclusion that we need.
Disabled voters deserved to be informed on the issues that matter to us.
The goal of this questionnaire is to understand a general overview of where each candidates stands on the issues that are relevant to us. It’s also to raise awareness of the disability issues that are impacting us.
The candidate questionnaire is non-partisan and has been sent to all 3 candidates.
