LEWISTOWN -- Mifflin County Farm Bureau will host Measure the Candidate Night at Mifflin County High School at 7 p.m. on Oct. 24. Attendees can expect potential talking points including Mifflin County School District's proposed multi-sports complex in addition to other topics related to the Mifflin County School Board.
The event will be televised via local news channels, according to Mifflin County Farm Bureau member, Mark Ellinger.
Candidates attending include unopposed Magisterial District Judge Jonathan Reed running for court of common pleas judge, potential Mifflin County Commissioners Kevin Kodish, Robert Postal, and Noah Wise; potential Mifflin County Magisterial Judge Craig Weston, potential Mifflin County District Attorney Chris Torquato, and potential Mifflin County Prothonotary Tammy Stuck.
Opposed candidates for Mifflin County School Board who will attend include Dianne Shearer and Terry Styers.
Unopposed candidates will have three minutes in summation to answer each question.
Also, opposed candidates will receive 30 second intros, one minute to answer each question and three minutes for summation time.
The event is expected to last two hours. Ellinger said the bureau hopes to have a good turnout for the school board race.
Ellinger said that three other unnamed candidates in the local election may also attend.
He added that audience members in attendance may ask any questions but the farm bureau will screen questions.
Because the farm bureau scheduled the event without conflicting events occurring in the community, they hope the attendance may be higher than in previous years.
