To support your point:
Ron DeSantis won the 2018 gubernatorial race in Florida by 32,463 votes, less than half a percentage point. Unlike the governors of NY, NJ, and other states, DeSantis locked down nursing homes in early March, and at the same time took steps to ensure that nursing homes would have sufficient supply of PPE, ventilators, and so on.
It’s fair to believe that if Andrew Gillum (the Democratic candidate) had won, he would have followed the example of Cuomo and other Democratic governors in handling the Covid-19 pandemic, which would have resulted in the devastation of Florida’s nursing home population.
There are thousands of residents in nursing homes in Florida who are still alive today because of the few people whose votes put DeSantis on top.
Local elections are very important.
