Elizabeth Bello, a seven year resident of the Town of Herndon: "I like the peacefulness. I'm a transplant from New York City. I love looking at all the many shades of green here. The library; I like that, and it's a satellite location. I will be voting there on Oct. 14, the first day of early voting.”
