INYO 350 to host county candidates forum

Forum to focus on county Second District

The March primary election is drawing closer, and with ballots being mailed out in early February, voters will very soon choose who will hold several important local offices.

In response, INYO350 is sponsoring a free public candidates forum for the District 2 Inyo County supervisor’s race.

This public forum will be held on Thursday, Jan. 25 at 6 p.m. in the Fellowship Center building at the Bishop United Methodist Church.

Candidates Laura Smith and Jeff Griffiths will both be present and speaking at the event. Kristina Blüm Justice will be the moderator for the evening.

Inyo County’s Second District includes the city of Bishop.

INYO350 is hosting this forum to help voters learn more about the two candidates, their hopes and goals for the county, and their positions on important issues affecting local communities.

“Our Inyo County supervisors regularly make important decisions affecting our local environment, economy and our public safety and health,” notes Harold McDonald, INYO350 chair. “Voters need to know where the candidates stand on important issues.”

For this forum, each candidate for this important local office has been provided advance questions that they will answer during the first half of the program.

After a brief intermission, the candidates will respond to questions generated by the audience.

Light refreshments will be served.

The Bishop United Methodist Church is located at 205 N. Fowler Street in Bishop.
