The Ferndale Community Concert Band receives a check for $250 for the 2024 Voter Challenge
28 May 2025
Since 2018, I have sponsored a voter turnout competition for eight cities near me to promote voting and local public involvement. On 12 May 2025, I presented a check for $250.00 to Ferndale Mayor Raylon Leaks-May and Sharon Chess of the Ferndale Community Concert Band. This prize was for having a turnout of 76.47% in the November 2024 election. The Ferndale Community Concert Band, founded in February 2015, plays at many events throughout the area.
