Candidate Forums Lining Up for Fall--Mark Your Calendar

Katie Nelson, marketing director

This fall’s upcoming candidate forum events can help you decide whose name you’ll select on your ballot. “I’ve made many of my voting decisions based on attending these forums,” states Barry Gillespie, ERA Gillespie Real Estate.

Event partners (OACCT, Owatonna People’s Press, Early Edition and Noon Rotary Clubs) held the Sheriff’s forum on August 2nd. Participants were able to gain a better understanding of all the candidates’ positions and after the primary, will have more opportunity to connect with the remaining candidates and make their final voting decision in November.

Mark your calendar for Mondays in October for forums on state senate 26, state representative 26A and county districts one, three and five. Forum partners are striving to secure our federal district candidates, as well as gubernatorial candidates, but no confirmations have been made to date.

More details to come. Watch the newsletter, Owatonna.org homepage, calendar of events and Facebook.com/owatonna and Owatonna People’s Press for further details. Forums are held at the Owatonna Country Club, 1991 Lemond Rd, from 11:30 AM-1:30 PM. Lunch is served from 11:30-Noon ($11); admittance is free at Noon.
