On March 14th, the Democratic Club held a forum where 6 of the 7 candidates running for Board of Education spoke (Johnny Duncan could not attend due to familial responsibilities). In a nutshell, these candidates are very different, and they have differing viewpoints on a wide variety of issues. You need to do your research before voting for 3 of them May 10th (you are voting, right?).
If you weren’t able to attend the forum on 3/14, there is an article in the 3/16 edition of the Hampshire Review on what was discussed. Otherwise, feel free to contact the Hampshire County Democratic Club (at: fhampshiredemocrats@citlink.net) for a summary of what was discussed. The 7 candidates are:
- Johnny Duncan (not in attendance)
- Kathy Jeffreys (only one of Kathy Jeffreys or Ed Morgan can win)
- Corena Landis-Mongold
- Ed Morgan (current board V.P.; only one of Kathy Jeffreys or Ed Morgan can win)
- Clarke Morgret
- Kim Poland
- Jeff Stambler
