NORTH MANCHESTER — Voters of all political stripes are invited to Meet the Candidates from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Monday in the Blocher Room of North Manchester Public Library.
Sponsored by Democrats of Wabash County, the event will allow area residents to meet a number of Democratic candidates on the ballot Nov. 6, learn about their views and ask questions.
Dee Moore, candidate for State Rep. District 18; Gary Snyder, candidate for State Senate District 17; Joselyn Whitticker, candidate for state auditor, and others will attend.
Also, anyone who is eligible to vote, including college students, can register at the event. Indiana’s deadline for registration is Oct. 9.
“Voters owe it to themselves to gather the facts and make informed decisions before they go to the polls,” said Chad Harris, chair of Wabash County Democrats. “Affordable health care, strong public schools, well-paying jobs, clean water and air for our children and grandchildren aren’t just Democratic concerns. They’re everyone’s concerns.”
When Democrats, Republicans and independents gather in a spirit of civility to discuss common concerns, says Harris, it’s the only way we can truly solve problems.
