Early voting kicks off Tuesday morning, and voters can cast their ballots at polling locations countywide for Denton City Council seats in Districts 2 and 3. Five candidates are vying for the two contested races: Nick Stevens and Brian Beck in District 2, and Suzi Rumohr, Margie Ellis and Karen DeVinney in District 3. Of course, the Districts 2 and 3 seats aren’t the only issues for voters to determine during early voting — April 22-29 — and on the May 3 general election day.

Giant images of purple vibrators and the words "She's Coming," plastered on the sides of trucks, have been traveling around streets in New York, Miami and Dallas.
