League Of Women Voters To Host A 2014 Candidate Forum, June 19, 2014

The Jefferson County League of Women Voters will host a 2014 Candidates Forum on June 19 from 7 to 9 p.m. in Ted Russell Hall, which is located in the new Business building at Carson-Newman University. Signs on the Jefferson City campus will direct attendees to the building.

For the first time, Jefferson County voters will be able to submit questions for their candidates prior to the forum by sending them to lwvforum2014@gmail.com. The audience will also have the opportunity to submit written questions on the night of the event. The forum moderators will present the questions to the candidates.

All candidates for county seats on the August 7 ballot were invited to participate in the forum. The event presents an excellent opportunity to hear from the candidates seeking to represent Jefferson County residents, and for voters to ask questions about issues that are important to them.

The League of Women Voters is nonpartisan and welcomes men and women alike as members and as officers. Meetings and programs are devoted to a variety of interesting topics and are open to the public. For more information, contact League Spokesperson Hilda Thomas at 865-475-6725.
