The League of Women Voters of Athens County asked each of the candidates for offices that are being contested this year to respond to some questions. The Voters’ Guide that will be published in the Athens Messenger shortly before the election will contain the responses we received.
In addition to the Voters’ Guide information, the League also collected responses from the candidates to other questions. These questions and the candidates’ responses, unedited and exactly as received, will be posted here in mid-October.
