REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FORUM IN NETAWAKA
The Nemaha, Brown, and Jackson County Republican Committees have joined forces to promote the candidates running in the August primary for the voters of Northeast Kansas. The three organizations have set a date of June 27 for the Primary Candidate Forum, to be held at the Netawaka Family Fitness Center, 233 Whiteway Street, Netawaka, KS. The event will run from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. A light lunch of pulled pork and brats, along with drinks, will be available for a donation. There will also be a gun raffle that day. Please tell your friends and family to join us—this is a great chance to meet the candidates before the August 8th primary election.
