Greenville Mayoral Candidates on Cable
The Candidates' Forum sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Darke
County will be broadcast on GPAT following the event, Monday, April 25
(7 PM).
If you are unable to attend the Candidates’ Night, please be sure to
tune into Greenville Public Access Television (GPAT), Channel 5 either
Thursday, April 28, Friday, April 29, Saturday, April 30 and Sunday,
May 1 at 10:00 AM, 2:00 PM or 8:00 PM each day. The program will be
broadcast in its entirety.
The candidates were videotaped and those citizens unable to attend the
Forum will have an opportunity to view the candidates and hear their
responses to questions. The program will be
less than 1 1/2 hours.
The event begins with very brief introductions by unopposed Darke
County candidates on the Primary or General Election ballot who are in
attendance. Then the evening begins with opposed Republican
primary candidates for Greenville City Mayor.
Mayoral caniddates were given two minute introductory speeches.
Following that, they answered questions submitted by the audience and
discussed issues. They concluded with a one minute statement.
Opposed candidates involved included:
• Greenville City Mayor (vote for one in the
Republican Primary): Mike Bowers or Doug Schmidt
As a reminder to voters, there is only a Republican Primary in May.
There is not a Democratic Primary as there are no contested Democratic
candidates on the ballot. Voters when going to the polls may
request an “issues only” ballot in lieu of a party declaration.
Additionally, Candidates for Darke County Municipal Court Judge will
not be on the ballot until the November General Election.
The League of Women Voters is a non-partisan political organization
with the major purpose being to inform voters about the candidates and
issues. Special thanks to Nick Schmidt of Schmidt Photography for
videotaping the evening, Todd Kaiser from Bach to Rock for the sound
system and for setting up the equipment and to the American Legion for
use of their facility. PLEASE REMEMBER TO VOTE, TUESDAY,
MAY 3.
