Tonight, the first of three candidate forums begin. All will be at the Platte Valley Community Center. The county candidate forum is at 6 p.m. tonight. On July 29 at 6 p.m., the Saratoga mayoral candidates will present their platforms. The Saratoga council candidates have their say on July 30 at 6 p.m.
The Valley Service Organization hosts these forums during election years and they are invaluable for voters.
This is an opportunity for you to weigh the candidate’s positions, past performances and future promises against newcomer’s ideas and platforms. This should aid you in deciding who you feel will represent you best.
These forums can help us find out what the candidates are thinking and why incumbents have done certain things. It is also a great way to find out if there are solutions and if fingers are being pointed unjustifiably.
It is a responsible idea to go and listen to the candidates at these forums and a benefit to view them with an open mind.
A good follow up is to read the Saratoga Sun’s Primary Section coming Aug. 13.
We sincerely hope you will take advantage of these sources of information to help make an educated decision when you head to the primaries Aug. 19.
