Hi, Neighbors,
Posting this on behalf of the League of Women Voters. The primaries are on Tues. Aug. 9 and early voting starts soon, so believe it or not, it's time to get informed. If we in Middlesex would like to see this debate (without driving to St. Johnsbury), we can watch at the YouTube link below.
The League of Women Voters of Vermont will host a live Candidates Forum for office of Secretary of State on Wednesday, June 22nd at St. Johnsbury Athenaeum, 1171 Main Street, from 7:00-8:30 pm. A meet-and-greet has been scheduled for 6:30 p.m.
Due to COVID protocols, the in-person audience will be limited to 45 guests and attendees must pre-register with the Athenaeum at https://secure.qgiv.com/for/lowv/event/851635. Masks are strongly recommended.
The Forum will also be live-streamed on Kingdom Access Television, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuFh4fkCFqJDn7ICWLsjgSA or:

Five candidates are vying for the nomination for Secretary of State, the position responsible for administrating and overseeing state elections. Participating in the Forum are: Representative Sarah Copeland Hanzas, (Democrat-Bradford), John Odum, Montpelier City Clerk (Democrat), Chris Winters, Deputy Secretary of State (Democrat), H. Brooke Paige (Republican), and Robert Millar (Progressive). Tom McKone, former Executive Director of the Kellogg-Hubbard Library, will serve as moderator.
The Forum is sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Vermont, Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, Burlington Chapter, and St. Johnsbury Athenaeum.
The League of Women Voters sponsors candidate forums as part of its mission to encourage informed and active participation in government. Questions can be sent to league@lwvofvt.org.
