In conjunction with WMSG/WKHJ Radio, The Republican newspaper will host a Candidates’ Forum on Monday, Oct. 25, in the auditorium of Garrett College in McHenry.
The forum will involve only those candidates who are in competitive races in the Nov. 2 general election. Those invited to participate are as follows: Delegate Wendell Beitzel (Repub-lican) and challenger James “Smokey” Stanton (Demo-crat); Garrett County Commissioner Denny Glotfelty (Rep.) and challengers Bill Welch (Dem.) and write-in candidate George Falter; commissioner candidates Gregan Crawford (Rep.) and Eric Robison (Dem.); county sheriff candidates Robert Corley (Rep.) and Skyler Hebden (Dem.); and GC Board of Education incumbent Rodney Durst and challenger Rodney Reckart (both non-partisan).
According to Don Sincell, editor of The Republican, 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. Readers are invited to submit suggested questions by e-mailing them to newsroom@therepublican-news.com.
The forum, which is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m., will be taped and aired on both WMSG and WKHJ prior to the Nov. 2 general election, according to Terry King of WKHJ/WMSG. Tentative airing times are Thursday, Oct. 28, at 7 p.m. on WMSG, and Sunday, Oct. 31, at 7 p.m. on WKHJ.
