On October 8, 10 and 17, at 7 p.m., the League of Women Voters of Hays County will introduce voters to candidates on three virtual candidate forums via Zoom.
On October 8, a forum with the candidates for Woodcreek City Council will be held. On October 10, a forum with the candidates running for County Constable Pct. 2 and County Court-atlaw #3 will be held. In addition, a forum for candidates vying for San Marcos City Mayor and the San Marcos City Council will take place on October 17.
“As part of the LWV of Hays County mission to empower voters, the candidate forums are a valuable resource for voters to fully inform themselves before heading to the vote center,” said Linda Calvert, President LWV of Hays County.
“Hays County is one of the fastest growing counties in Texas and the U.S., among counties of over 100,000 population, and this means we have many more eligible voters. The LWV encourages new, as well as longtime Hays County, voters to attend these local forums to learn about the candidates vying for their votes.”
At least two participating candidates are necessary to hold a forum. Forums for candidates for the Wimberley Independent School District, Texas Senate District 25, Texas House Representative District 45, Judge Judicial District 483, Hays County District Clerk, for Sheriff, and County Commissioner Pct.3 will not be held.
