There will be no verbal questions. League members will screen all questions for readability and appropriateness so there are no slanted questions, slams, or questions to only one candidate. The purpose of the questions is to educate the citizens as to the positions of the candidates. ?The League?s mission includes helping citizens become informed voters,? says Kerrville Area League President Priscilla Wright. ?These forums are one important way the community can become knowledgeable about the candidates and the issues.?
