Political forum set for Monday

A political forum is set to take place on Monday, October 2, 2024, at the Steubenville High School auditorium, where residents can meet local candidates and learn about the issues that will be featured on the November 5 ballot. Organized by the Ohio Valley Business and Professional Women’s Club, this event will begin at 6 p. m. with an informal meet-and-greet session, allowing community members to engage directly with the candidates. This forum is designed to enhance voter education and encourage civic participation, particularly as the election date approaches.

It serves as a crucial platform for candidates to share their views and for voters to ask pressing questions regarding local governance and policies. Attendance is encouraged as it provides an essential opportunity for dialogue between candidates and constituents. The forum highlights the importance of community involvement in the democratic process. Such events are vital for fostering informed voting and strengthening local democracy.
