Nine of 10 candidates who seek to represent District 3 on the Lincoln County Board participated in a Candidate Forum on Friday at the Ponderosa Room at City Hall.
And, while no winner was declared, the event did afford the 55 people who attended a chance to narrow the field.
“I think from what we saw there are four serious candidates,” said Russell Bache. “Of that group, five just weren’t informed enough.”
Those who attended included Scott Brandos, David Brandt, Dawain Burgess, Gilbert Cate, Jr., Mike Cole, Steve Curtiss, Gary DeLorenzo, Brian Linnell and Lori Ramesz. Candidate Ginny Emerson did not attend.
The top two vote-getters from the June 5 election will compete in the Nov. 6 election.
John Rios, of the Lincoln County Republican Central Committee served as moderator for the forum.
