Channel 5/Greenville Public Access TV.
Please be sure to see the program at the many convenient times. It

The event begins with very brief introductions by unopposed Darke
County candidates on the Primary Election ballot who were in
attendance. Then there are introductions from contested
candidates for the Republican Primary for the 12 Senate seat (presently
occupied by Keith Faber, who is term limited) and then the 8th
Congressional District (John Boehner’s seat).
The main portion of the event focused on the Republic Primary for

LeMaster. The successful Republican candidate will face the
Democratic candidate, Leon Rogers, in the General Election. The
Commnissioner candidates 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.
