Candidates running for State Representative, County Commissioner, Sheriff; and representatives of Congressional candidates were on hand to inform voters about why they felt they were the best candidates. Local and state ballot proposals were also discussed. The forum was hosted by the West Branch Area Chamber of Commerce and the West Branch Business Professional Women chapter.
