Become informed — come to the forum

A candidate forum for state senate candidates Jeff Longbine and Jerry Karr is planned at 2 p.m. Sunday at the USD 408 Performing Arts Center in Marion.

This newspaper supports voters being informed, which is the reason we facilitate candidate forums. We need sound leadership in every aspect of government. The only way to make informed decisions is to meet the candidates and see how they perform under pressure.

So, what do you want to know about the candidates? What topic is most important to you and your community?

This isn’t a Republican or Democratic forum. This is a forum to help voters make the best possible decision.

Take advantage of this opportunity. Send us a question for the candidates or come to the forum on Sunday and submit a question.
