Submitted to Branson Globe

Do you know who’s running for elected offices in Taney County, and if so, would you like to chat with them personally and learn more about their platform and qualifications? Don’t miss the opportunity to learn who’s running and why, at the Taney County Candidate Forum, Friday, July 8.

Hosted by Branson U, this FREE event starts at 6 p.m. at the Branson Tri-Lakes News office, 200 Industrial Park Drive in Hollister. Come early to save your seat and visit with candidates.

Branson U is a local nonprofit committed to the premise that local government exists to serve the community and shouldn’t be secretive or exclusive. Making sure elected officials are accountable and accessible, however, is the responsibility of informed citizens who take the time to Learn, Lead, and Love—educating themselves about how local government works and getting involved to keep leaders accountable and maintain what we love about our communities. To accomplish this, Branson U offers educational materials online and regularly hosts events to help area citizens stay informed.
