Community races

Community races are political elections where residents within a specific neighborhood or municipality vote to choose their local leaders, such as mayors, council members, or other officials. These races typically focus on local issues like public safety, schools, infrastructure, and community development. Candidates often campaign within the community, and voters participate to shape policies directly affecting their daily lives. Unlike state or national elections, community races emphasize local concerns and decision-making, fostering direct accountability and representation for residents in their immediate area.
