Thank you to all the candidates running for elected offices in our state. Your willingness to offer your time and talents for public service is applauded.
We urge all voters to become informed before they go to the polls on Nov. 5. Many issues face voters today and it may be challenging to decide who to vote for. To help voters put faces to names and learn what each stands for, we urge you to attend our Candidates’ Forum for House District No. 83 on Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. at the Mount Vernon High School Performing Arts Center Lobby. House district 83 candidates Cindy Golding (I) and Kent McNally have agreed to attend the forum. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
The League also reminds citizens that absentee ballot requests are accepted Aug. 27-Oct. 21.
Early voting is available from Oct. 16 – Nov. 4 at the Jean Oxley Public Service Center (Linn County Adm. Building.) and at Lindale Mall.
