Winners of the Go Out & Vote Contest!

Winners of the Go Out & Vote Contest!

Just last month, we ran a contest inspired by Amy Waninger of Lead at Any Level, to do our part in driving voter turnout for the 2018 U.S. Elections.  Overall, the country saw the highest voter turnout since 2014, and according to The Atlantic, there was a 188% increase in turnout numbers for Millennials!

Thank you to the participants in the contest!  Without further adieu, here are the winners in each category:

  1. Michael McCrary
  2. Mark Tarmann
  3. Harold Tracy

If you ask Mark or Harold, maybe they’ll share their selfies in the comments!

About Carly Burnham
