 The event is being sponsored by the
Logan County Republican Central Committee and will offer the public
an opportunity to hear from the local Republican candidates who are
currently seeking nomination in the March 17th Primary Election.
For Logan County Coroner, Don Peasely and Chris Sprague are the
candidates. Bethany Rademaker and Kelly Elias are each running for
the office of Logan County Circuit Clerk. The position of Circuit
Judge is being sought by Judge Jonathan Wright as well as Judge
William (Bill) Workman.
In addition, Brad Hauge is running unopposed for the position of
Logan County State’s Attorney and there is a county-wide referendum
on the March 17th ballot pertaining to the $0.50 per $100 sales tax
for the restoration of the Logan County Courthouse.
According to Republican Central Committee member Jim Drew, the
format will include allowing all the candidates plus a
representative for the tax referendum an opportunity to field
questions from the audience. [to

 Drew said that the candidates will
have the opportunity to speak to the audience, then will hear
questions, presented by a moderator, that have been collected from
the audience.
Drew said that the exact format for
the meeting has not been completely nailed down yet, but will be by
March 5th. What has been determined is that the candidates will be
brought to the stage in pairs where applicable, and that there will
be no pre-written questions. All the questions will come from the
audience.
With there being several offices running opposed this year, the
event on March 5th will give guests the opportunity to compare the
answers of each candidate and hopefully help with their decision
making process on election day.
The entire Logan County community is encouraged to attend.
