The Rec Campaign is hosting the race raise awareness for their campaign.
In order for the Madison County Recreation District to be created, the campaign must receive support from local registered voters. Over the past six months, campaign volunteers have gathered signatures to get the initiative on the next election ballot. The ballot initiative would then need more than 50% of votes to pass.
More information on the campaign can be found on Rexburg’s website and the Madison County Rec District Campaign Facebook page.
