Legislative Candidate Forums

The Kokomo Perspective, The Kokomo Tribune, The Greater Kokomo Chamber of Commerce and The League of Women Voters will present a series of Candidate Forums featuring candidates for local office.

The events, which will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 15 and Wednesday, Oct 22, will feature five separate political races which will be decided on Election Day, Nov. 4.  The Candidate Forums also will be telecast on KGOV Channel 2 on Comcast Cable.

The Candidate Forums will begin on Oct 15 with the candidates for Howard County Council Dist. 4, Howard County Clerk, and Howard Circuit Court.  On October 22, the featured races will include Howard County Commissioner Dist. 2 and Indiana Representative Dist. 30.

Four out of the five will be held in a traditional format, with candidates taking turns fielding questions from the moderator that pertain to the office being contested.  In one Candidate Forum, however, the rules have been adjusted so that the citizens may get a more in-depth picture of the candidates.

Candidates featured October 22:  Joining Karickhoff and Sosbe will be Incumbent Republican Paul Wyman, Democratic challenger Mike Barger, and Independent challenger Leonard Baxter II for County Commissioner.
