Even with the Baltimore Ravens playing at the same time, The League of Women Voters of the Mid-Shore bravely soldiered on with their forum for Talbot County Council candidates Sunday afternoon at the Friends Meeting House in Easton. In front of a packed audience, the seven candidates running for the five open seats responded to a series of questions from the LWVMS and the audience for the next two hours.
The Spy was able to record the candidate responses to five of those questions to share with our viewers.
Candidates running for the five open seats are:
Dirck Bartlett, Incumbent (Republican)
Chuck Callahan (Republican)
Eric Lowery (Democrat)
Corey Pack, Incumbent (Republican)
Laura Price, Incumbent (Republican)
Hilary Spence (Democrat)
Jennifer Williams (Republican)
Part Two
Question 4: What is the Council’s position on contributing to the resources needed to reduce drug abuse in Talbot County?
Question 5: Please list the three civic issues that are your priorities and how are you going to pay for those?
The election will be held Tuesday, November 4, with early voting at the Easton Fire House between Thursday, October 23 and Thursday, October 30.
