Standard-Examiner: Meet Candidates Thursday in Ogden

Mark your calenders, folks, for this early event which will allow you to meet all these wonderful candidates in the flesh

As we approach within 55 days of the upcoming November General election, the Standard carries this morning a sidebar blurb announcing an important and convenient pre-election "meet the candidates" event set for 8pm Thursday in downtown Ogden.  The announcement's short, so we'll take the liberty of incorporating it in full for those S-E readers who may have missed it.  And for our readers' convenience, we've also pasted in a few informative links:

OGDEN — The Coalition of Religious Communities will sponsor a Meet the Candidates night from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. Thursday at Episcopal Church of the Good Shepherd, 2371 Grant Ave., in Ogden.

The community is invited to participate in asking questions of the candidates.

Those expected to attend include Linda Protzman and Ryan Wilcox, House District 7; Gage Froerer and Nick Velis, House District 8; Neil Hansen and Jeremy Peterson, House District 9; Dixon Pitcher and Christopher Winn, House District 10; Brad Dee and Pamela Udy, House District 11; Stuart Reid, Senate District 18; Allen Christensen and Peter Clemens, Senate District 19; Brent Andrews and Scott Jenkins, Senate District 20; and Rob Bishop and Donna McAleer, U.S. House District 1.

For information, call Linds Hilton, director of the Coalition of Religious Communities, 801-364-7765, Extension 100 or email linda@crossroadsurbancenter.org.

Oddly enough, Senator Stuart Reid isn't even running in the 2012 election. We guess he's eager to get a head start on the 2014 election race.

Conspicuously absent from Thursday night's event?  Your blogmeister's personal choice for Utah Senate District 19... the Libertarian candidate, Courtney White.  Go figure. 

Mark your calenders, folks, for this early event which will allow you to meet all these wonderful candidates in the flesh
