Clerk forum in Jamestown today

JAMESTOWN — The League of Women Voters of Chautauqua County will host a Candidate Forum between Gregory Carlson and Gregory Krauza, candidates for Chautauqua County Clerk. The forum will be at 5 p.m. in the Robert H. Jackson Center on 305 E. Fourth St. All are invited to come to this event. Questions can be submitted to croxtonlwvchq@gmail.com or bring your questions with you. These written questions will be submitted to the candidates and read by the moderator.

The League’s goal is simple — we want everyone to vote, to trust that their vote counts, and to be informed when they head to the polls.

We hold these candidate events as a service to both voters and candidates. For voters, it’s a chance to see and hear directly from the people running for office — to form your own first-hand impressions. For candidates, it’s an opportunity to share their views with an audience of all political backgrounds.
