GREENVILLE MAYORAL CANDIDATES ON CABLE

The Candidates' Forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Darke County will be broadcast on GPAT following the event, Monday, April 25 (7 PM).

If you are unable to attend the Candidates’ Night, please be sure to tune into Greenville Public Access Television (GPAT), Channel 5 either Thursday, April 28, Friday, April 29, Saturday, April 30 and Sunday, May 1 at 10:00 AM, 2:00 PM or 8:00 PM each day. The program will be broadcast in its entirety.

The candidates were videotaped and those citizens unable to attend the Forum will have an opportunity to view the candidates and hear their responses to questions. The program will be
less than 1 1/2 hours.

The event begins with very brief introductions by unopposed Darke County candidates on the Primary or General Election ballot who are in attendance. Then the evening begins with opposed Republican primary candidates for Greenville City Mayor.

Mayoral caniddates were given two minute introductory speeches. Following that, they answered questions submitted by the audience and discussed issues. They concluded with a one minute statement. Opposed candidates involved included:

Greenville City Mayor (vote for one in the Republican Primary): Mike Bowers or Doug Schmidt

As a reminder to voters, there is only a Republican Primary in May. There is not a Democratic Primary as there are no contested Democratic candidates on the ballot. Voters when going to the polls may request an “issues only” ballot in lieu of a party declaration. Additionally, Candidates for Darke County Municipal Court Judge will not be on the ballot until the November General Election.

The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan political organization with the major purpose being to inform voters about the candidates and issues. Special thanks to Nick Schmidt of Schmidt Photography for videotaping the evening, Todd Kaiser from Bach to Rock for the sound system and for setting up the equipment and to the American Legion for use of their facility.

PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE, TUESDAY, MAY 3.
