Part of the League of Women Voters’ mission is to provide information to citizens regarding candidates running for government offices. In that spirit, the LEAGUE of Women Voters of the Mid-Shore will hold a forum on Thursday, April 30 at 6:00 pm at the Talbot County Free Library, Easton. All candidates for Mayor and Council Wards 1 and 3 are expected to participate.
The Easton election will be held on Tuesday, May 5 between 7:00 am and 8:00 pm at the Easton Fire House. There are two candidates running for the Office of Mayor: incumbent Robert C. Willey and former council member Mooneyene Jackson Amis.
There are two candidates for Ward 1 hoping to fill the seat that will be vacated by Kelley Malone. They are Phillip Carey Foster and Alan Silverstein.
The two candidates running for the Ward III, opening when Len Wendowski steps down, are Ron Engle and Duane Hilghman.
Town Council President John Ford, Ward II Council Member Pete Lescher and Ward IV Council Member Megan Cook are scheduled to remain on the Council until 2017.
All will be present to meet citizens, introduce themselves, and answer questions. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend.

Question: I heard that there was a ‘Write In” candidate for Mayor as well. Can you confirm this is accurate? Thank you. -Patrick
