Voters who want a closer look at candidates seeking to lead Tooele County are invited to a debate.
Candidates for Tooele County Commission Seat A and B and for the office of county sheriff will face the public in a debate on Oct. 23 at Tooele Applied Technology College.
Dan Bammes, a reporter for KUER FM 90.1, will moderate the event, which is sponsored by the Tooele-Transcript Bulletin.
The evening will start with a “Meet the Candidates” session from 6 p.m. to 6:50 p.m. in the lobby and hallway of TATC.
The debate will begin in the TATC community room at 7 p.m.
The debate will start with each candidate giving introductory remarks. Bammes will then direct questions on local issues to each candidate, and candidates will be given designated times to respond.
Following questions from Bammes, candidates will have the opportunity to respond to previous answers from other candidates.
After the candidate questions, the evening will end with each candidate granted a closing statement.
