WHAT’S THE WORD ON THE VOTE?
Midterms 101: Let’s break it down!

You’ve heard “midterm elections”—but what does that actually mean? 🤔 Here’s the scoop:

📅 Why “midterm”? These elections take place halfway through a president’s four-year term.

🏛️ What’s on the ballot? All 435 U.S. House seats and approximately one-third of U.S. Senate seats are up for election. Depending on where you live, your ballot may also include state leaders, judges, county officials, and ballot questions.

💡 Why do they matter? These elections help determine who makes laws, approves public spending, and represents your community.

🇺🇸 Is the president on the ballot? No. Midterms choose other elected leaders while the president continues their term.

Now that’s the word on the vote! Knowledge starts with understanding your ballot. 📚🗳️

Breast cancer screening can help find cancer early, when it may be easier to treat. Your screening plan should reflect your age, family health history, personal risk, and previous health information.

Make breast health part of your next healthcare visit.
