President urges St. Mary's County residents to attend League of Women Voters forums before the election
Summary
The presiding official at a St. Mary's County meeting urged residents to attend League of Women Voters candidate forums on the third and fourth of June at Election Park Library and to research candidates and county resources before voting.
At a public meeting, the presiding official (referred to in the transcript as the president) reminded residents about the upcoming election and encouraged attendance at League of Women Voters candidate forums scheduled for the third and fourth of June at Election Park Library. "Both days, show up and listen to these people who are talking and try to be a little more informative," the president said, urging voters to check the county website to verify statements.
Why it matters: The president framed participation in candidate forums as a way for voters to evaluate claims directly and make informed choices. He said these forums have been useful in previous elections and urged residents to "educate yourself before you make a final decision."
The president stressed the responsibility of elected officials to represent the whole county, not only individual districts, saying, "whoever gets elected, you're working for the people of St. Mary's County." He added that the five members present make decisions that affect the entire county.
No specific candidates or campaign endorsements were mentioned in the transcript. The president acknowledged multiple candidates are running and repeated that voters should use available forums and official materials to assess statements made by candidates.
