League of Women Voters sponsor Ingram Candidates Forum

Ingram City Candidates and Independent School District Candidates Forum
Thursday, April 24, 2014

The League of Women Voters-Kerrville Area which serves Kerr County will sponsor a Candidates Forum for candidates running for the Ingram City Election and the Ingram Independent School District in the Ingram Elementary School Cafeteria beginning at 7:00 p.m.  The Ingram Elementary school location is 125 Brave Run, Ingram, Texas 78025.

There is no charge for this event and the location is handicapped accessible.  Please invite your friends to attend this Candidates Forum.
  Participating candidates we have heard from to date include:
  Candidates for Mayor:  James Salter and Twanda Brown
  Candidates for Alderman:  Dace Clark, J. Nathan White and Brandon Rowen
  Candidates for Ingram Independent School District:  Evelyn Miller and Allen Samford
The League of Women Voters is nonpartisan.  There will be no substitutes or stand-ins for the candidates.  There must be at lease two candidates in participation for each position in the forum.  the questions for the Q&A will come from the citizens written on 3x5 cards.  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."
Mission Statement:  The League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan political organization, encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues, and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
