This is an IHeart podcast.

Welcome back to a numbers game with Ryan Gurdowski.

Today is Thursday, October 9th, 2025.

It is 25 days till the 2025 election, local elections across the country.

Make a plan and get out and vote, vote by mail,

vote early in person or vote on election day, make a plan just and make sure you vote. Local

elections matter. Everything from school board to governor is up in different places across the country.

So find out what's on the ballot in your area. Go to the Secretary of State website or your

local county website and figure it out and make the game plan. It is really important to have

informed active voters. Okay. I know that this podcast has been very heavy on campaigns lately.

I come from a campaign background. I'm sure a lot of other people are kind of

getting sick of it and it gets grating after a while. Not everyone is like me who lives and eats and

breathes campaigns. So I think next Thursday, I'm going to do a politics free episode where I will do

another issue. I don't know what it is yet. I'll know it by Monday,

but maybe I'll just do book reviews or something about true crime or something I'm interested

in, something that is not related to campaign specific. I will give my listener a one day break

before we go full on into the election. And if you have a topic, by the way, that you want me to research and cover, please email me,

Ryan at Numbersgamepodcast.com and throw what you like to hear about this non-political

episode.

I'm really leaving it up to the audience and letting them decide what I talk about.

I think this would be really interesting and a nice break from people who just want to take a breather between all the conversations about the elections coming up.

So for today's episode, I have a little bit of interesting data coming up with the campaigns and the elections in our important states.
