Sedona AZ (July 8, 2014) – The League of Women Voters Greater Verde Valley is holding two candidates’ forums for the Sedona City election to be held on August 26, 2014. With eight candidates running for Sedona City Council and two candidates running to be Sedona’s mayor, these separate candidates’ forums will give voters an opportunity to hear the candidates speak to the issues that are important to their communities and to ask them questions that are important to you, the voter.
The first forum will be for candidates running for Sedona City Council – Angela LeFevre, Jon “J.T.” Thompson, Ronald Budnick, Rio Robson, Scott Jablow, Robert O’Donnell, Jerry Frey, and Tom Lamkin have been invited to discuss the issues facing the City of Sedona. The forum will be held on Wednesday, July 23, 2014 from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm at the Jewish Community Sedona and the Verde Valley, located at 100 Meadowlark Drive (off Hwy.179), Sedona. The League of Women Voters will be trying out a new forum format that will allow candidates to have direct discussions with forum attendees along with the traditional open and closing statement.
On Thursday, July 24, 2014 from 7:00 pm to 8:300 pm at the Sedona Public Library, 3250 White Bear Road in West Sedona, the Sedona mayoral candidates, Cliff Hamilton and Sandy Moriarty will discuss the issues facing Sedona and talk about what they see as the role of the mayor in Sedona and the region.

I hope everyone who intends to vote in this important election will attend both of these forums, and listen to all of the candidates. Unfortunately too many elections are swayed by who has the most signs or spends the most on ads. Name-recognition voters produce the government they deserve. Don’t blame “government” if you’re not happy! Blame uninformed voters. Are you one?
