Taking it to the people
Published 8:13 am Saturday, September 21, 2019
This week, The Tribune reached out to mayor and council candidates, inviting them to a series of election forums we have planned for mid-October.
Already, many are committing to take part in these events.
The first event will focus on the eastern end of the county, with candidates in Proctorville, Chesapeake and Athalia invited to Ohio University Southern’s Proctorville Center at 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 14.
Next will be a session in South Point at the high school at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 15.
And wrapping up the series, candidates for Ironton and Coal Grove will appear at 5:30 p.m. at Ohio University Southern in Ironton on Thursday, Oct. 17.
We would like to have everyone in these races appear and make their case.
If you encounter one of these candidates, please urge them to take part. It is an excellent opportunity for them to introduce themselves to the voters and outline their vision for office.
And, remember, this is your forum. We would like to hear the input of readers. If you have any questions you would like to hear asked or issues you want discussed, please let us know.
These events are free and open to the public.
We hope to see you there.
