The Stow group Citizens for Nonpartisan Politics is sponsoring its 14th annual Candidates Night Tuesday, Oct. 8 at the VFW/Acker-Moore Memorial Post 175, 3733 Fishcreek Road in Stow, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., with the doors opening at 6:15 p.m.
CNP Secretary Tom Stephan will serve as both MC and moderator for the evening. CNP member Ellen Coughlin, along with community representative Kem Cook, will serve as timekeepers.
Candidates will include those running for Congress, Ohio Supreme Court Justices, State Senator, State House Representative, Appeals Court Judges, Common Pleas Court Judges, County Prosecutor, Common Pleas Court Clerk, Sheriff, Fiscal Officer, and Summit County Council (District 3).
Each candidate will be allotted two minutes to present their background and qualifications, followed by a timed question and answer session where each candidate will answer two questions. If a candidate is unable to attend, they may send a representative who will have two minutes to present the candidate’s background and/or position, but will not be part of the Q&A. There will be no debates.
Candidates Night is free and open to the public; light refreshments will be provided. Members of the CNP Governmental Affairs Committee developed the questions the moderator will ask. The candidates have not received or seen any questions prior to Candidates Night.
