Chamber To Host Candidate Forum At Garrett College

Support the Republican Newspaper! It’s only $9.95/year for the online edition!

Aug. 12, 2010

The Legislative Committee of the Garrett County Chamber of Commerce is planning to host a Candidates’ Forum on Saturday, Aug. 28, in the auditorium of Garrett College in McHenry.
The format of the program will be question-answer rather than that of a political debate. Pre-selected questions will be directed to and answered by each candidate who is in a competitive race in the September 14, 2010, primaries and/or November’s general election.

According to committee chair Shane Grady, the chamber and The Republican newspaper invite citizens to submit questions that will be considered for the forum.

“It is our hope that the program will be an excellent opportunity for the candidates to disseminate their platform and ideas, and also help Garrett County’s registered voters make their selections at the ballot box,” Grady said.

The schedule for the forum will be as follows: candidates for sheriff from 10 to 11 a.m.; candidates for county commissioner from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; candidates for House of Delegates from 1 to 1:30 p.m.; candidates for Senate from 1:30 to 2 p.m.; and candidates for register of wills from 2 to 3 p.m.

The format will include 90-second introductions, 60-second responses to questions, and 90-second closing statements.

Persons who have questions to be considered for the forum are invited to submit them by e-mail to jessica@garrettchamber.com or by telephone to Jessica at 301-387-2050.
