getting positive feedback on Election forum during october luncheon

The front table at our October membership luncheon was full as candidates for Missouri State Representative, candidates for St. Louis County offices and spokespersons for a number of ballot initiatives joined us for an election-year forum at Andre's West.
Thanks to Paul Carcagno, President of the Board of Directors, for moderating the event. With more than 13 speakers, each person was limited to three minutes. Paul diffused any tension at the beginning of the event by informing the candidates and spokespeople he would treat them the way he treats his children when they won't stop talking: "I'll just take your phone away." 
We received overwhelmingly positive feedback on the event. All were appreciative of the candidates and spokespeople respecting the time constraints. We received the most feedback on the courtesy and respect the candidates showed to one another.
The November, 2018, ballot in St. Louis County will be the longest ever assembled. We always encourage voters to be knowledgeable of the candidates and issues before they head to the polls. However, this year some additional time spent reviewing the ballot will save themselves and their fellow voters time at the ballot box.
Review your ballot by visiting the St. Louis County Polling Place and Sample Ballot Lookup.
