Thomas Jefferson and Ben Franklin were concerned the new democracy would need serious citizen participation to succeed. The League of Women Voters is sponsoring a candidate forum for Senate District 13 at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 10 at Gorecki Center on the College of St. Benedict campus. This forum will make it possible for citizens to hear and ask questions of candidates running for the State Legislature. The League of Women Voters has a strong reputation for fairness and non-partisanship in its forums.
This is an opportunity for anyone living between Paynesville and Sartell, including Avon, to make democracy live up to the Franklin and Jefferson ideal.
The forum starts at 7 p.m., but the doors will open at 6 p.m. Let’s get a big turnout for the chance to have some input in our democracy.
