Candidates to speak Wednesday at Grange

Candidates for local and regional elected offices will appear at a candidate forum June 27 at the Skamokawa Grange.

"It will be an old fashioned forum starting with a potluck dinner at 5 p.m. followed by the forum at 6 p.m.," said coordinator Deborah Lincoln.

"The potluck will be a relaxed; bring what you want and can, and just enjoy eating with other community members. Hot dogs will be available, and food in crockpots can be plugged in.

"The forum will provide information in a nonpartisan, impartial, educational environment. It is an all-American forum with members of all parties getting together to view local elections. John Kennedy once wrote, ‘Let us not seek the Republican or the Democratic answer, but the right answer.’”

Each candidate will have two minutes for an opening statement followed by written questions submitted by the audience.
