June 3 Election And Run-Off 0/ our own fate, of our future. You have on and develop the kind of be. Learning where the candidates Your right to vote gives you that power.'' — Susan Lindsay ^6 Republican candidacy. Both indicated "yes" to all four ^hestions. According to Marjorie Storch, N.O.W. spokesper- ?^h, the question of which candidate to vote for should be ^sed on other issues in that each would support of ^■O.w.'s side of issues. tiistrict One Democrats Jim Black and Sue Friday present different picture. Black did not respond to the question- ^dire. Friday said "yes" to the question of support for the Equal Rights Amendment, but would not commit herself fully to the other issues. N.O.W. urges Democratic voters to consider the fact that Black's position on such issues as gay rights is not clear at this point. In a choice between the two, Friday appears more supportive. Perhaps the clearest choice comes in District Four of the county commission runoff between Democrats Susan Lind say and Tony Anthony. Lindsay responded "yes" to each question. Anthony didn't respond. George Higgins, who has already won the Republican nomination for District One and will face the Lindsay-An- thony winner in November, likewise failed to respond. With the runoffs barely a week away, Lindsay said her candidacy rests "on the premise that an elected office is there to take information from the electorate, to identify what the people see as their needs and to put those needs into order and form a consensus. "It is critical," she said, "that we take hold of our own fate, of our future. You have the right and the power to decide on and develop the kind of community you want yours to be. Learning where the candidates stand on the issues and using your right to vote gives you that power." With voter turnout expected to be 20% or less, according to NOW'S Storch, gay and lesbian voters can make a significant impact. She pointed out that since each district represents approximately one fourth of the county's voters, it is easy to see that the difference of a few votes could make the difference between a candidate who will dis criminate or one who will represent gay/lesbian rights.
