Young Democrats to host Meet the Candidates forum

The Tuscarawas County Young Democrats will host a Democratic Primary Meet the Candidates forum at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 31, at Founders Hall on the Kent State University at Tuscarawas campus.

The event is open to the public, and organizers say Democrats, independents and engaged citizens are welcome to attend.

Candidates and representatives are expected to speak on races including governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives, Ohio Supreme Court, secretary of state, treasurer of state, auditor of state, Ohio Senate, Ohio House of Representatives, county commissioner, county auditor and Court of Common Pleas judge.

Organizers say the forum will focus on electability, affordability and governing in today’s Ohio. Topics will include what each candidate stands for, how candidates plan to compete in a Republican-leaning district, what they will do to make life more affordable for Ohio families and what they realistically can accomplish in office.
