countyjudgecandidatesThe Early Chamber of Commerce sponsored a political forum on Monday night for candidates running for Brown County offices.  Candidates from Democratic and Republican parties each had three minutes to address those in attendance.

Most candidates explained their background, qualifications, and reason for seeking office.  This was the first public forum involving the Democratic candidates.

Early voting is currently underway for the primaries and will continue through Friday.  Primary Election Day is March 2nd.

See video of many of Monday night’s candidate presentations below.  Candidates are grouped by office and their party affiliation.  *Please note that video of the JP Prec 2 Candidates did not upload properly.  We will correct the issue and have that available as soon as possible.
