MEET THE CANDIDATES

The public is invited to attend a Candidate Forum on Tuesday, October 22, 7 to 9 p.m., at the Bennington Firehouse, 3rd floor, 130 River Street, Bennington.

Sponsored by the Bennington Branch of the American Association of University Women, a nonpartisan organization, invited candidates include all candidates running in the November 5 election for State Senate from Bennington County and for State Representative in Bennington Districts 2 and 5. They are:

State Representative (BENN 2)

*Timothy R. Corcoran II (D)
William ("Will) Greer (D)

State Representative (BENN 5)

*indicates incumbent

The moderator will be AAUW Past President Kathy Wagenknecht. She will pose several questions formulated by a planning committee and, if time allows, open up the forum to audience questions. A reception follows the forum at 9 p.m. for an opportunity to talk with the candidates and pick up campaign material.

"The forum is necessarily limited by the extensive list of 12 candidates and the two-hour time limit we've had to place on the evening," says AAUW Branch President Suzanne Kirkpatrick. "But we are confident that Bennington voters will come away with a deeper knowledge of the candidates and their stand on
issues that affect our county and state."

The Candidate Forum will be cablecast by CAT-TV and shared with GNAT-TV.
