This year’s 2018 General Election Candidates “Meet and Greet” Forum will take place on Thursday, Sept. 27, at the Crawfordsville High School commons and auditorium. Candidates for State Representative, County Commissioner and County Council will appear beginning as 6 p.m. with a “meet and greet” followed by the forum beginning at 7 p.m. All other candidates have also been invited to attend and interact with voters during the evening.
The Forum is sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Montgomery County, the Crawfordsville/Montgomery County Chamber of Commerce and the Indiana Federation of Business and Professional Women to provide an opportunity for voters to hear directly from all of the candidates at one time on current issues and allow them to meet and question the candidates.
“This is a great opportunity for voters to talk with the candidates one-on-one and listen to their answers to questions from the sponsors and the audience”, commented S. David Long, Vice President of the League. “All of the sponsors believe it’s important for voters to be well informed and this is just another way for them to gather information on the candidates and their positions on various issues that will impact Montgomery County. It’s also a good opportunity for voters learn the difference in responsibilities between the Commissioners and Council, which are often confused. I encourage everyone to come with questions they feel are important to the future of our county.”
