The midterm elections conclude November 6. Do you know what’s on your ballot? It's not a presidential election, so why does it even matter? What impact will your vote really have?

During News & Brews on October 23, listeners conversed about what makes this election unique and how to find out more about the candidates on your ballot. The event was held upstairs at Arlington’s in downtown Springfield.
