APRIL 7 DO YOU KNOW YOUR CANDIDATES? By Hank Booth Do you know what your candidates’ top priorities will be when elected? What is their stand on job creation? Do they support current Kansas Board of Education science standards? The Chamber presented City Commission and School Board candidates with a series of questions on key issues. These questions were purposely drafted to insure that the candidates would make an indelible mark on exactly where they stand on the issues. The Chamber also limited written answers to fifty words or less. Please take a moment and read the responses made by each candidate and judge for yourself which candidates should receive your critical three votes for the City Commission and the School Board. Simply click on links below to see candidates’ responses: City Commission Candidates School Board Candidates You can also go to our website at www.lawrencechamber.com to view the responses. If you can not make it to your voting place on election day, April 7, please go to the Douglas County Clerk’s office on the first floor or the Old Courthouse at 11th and Massachusetts St. Advance voting is now available during business hours through April 6 until 12 p.m. and on Saturday, April 4 from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. The outcome of this election will have a significant impact on the Lawrence & Douglas County community for many years to come.
