I am excited to invite you to an important and engaging event that embodies the very principles upon which our cooperative is built. Our upcoming Meet the Candidates night is designed to bring together all eligible voters in our community for an evening of connection, information, and democratic engagement.
- Date: September 10th
- Location: Verndale Lions Community Center
- Social Hour: 6:30 p.m.
- Candidate Forum: 7 p.m.
About the Event
Meet the Candidates night will provide a unique opportunity for you to hear directly from the candidates running for various offices. The candidates for the following offices have been invited to attend: Minnesota House Districts 5A, 5B, 9B, 10A, and 12B; State Senate, and U.S. Districts 7 and 8.
Each candidate will be given a few minutes to explain his or her reasons for running for office and outline his or her legislative priorities. This will be followed by a question-and-answer session where attendees are invited to submit their questions.
While our cooperative’s primary interest revolves around energy issues, all matters of legislation will be open for discussion. This event is an excellent chance to gain insight into where each candidate stands on a variety of issues that affect our community.
Why Attend?
Todd-Wadena Electric Cooperative (TWEC) recognizes democratic member control, educating members, and concern for community as core cooperative principles. These principles drive our commitment to ensuring our membership, and all eligible voters, are well-informed about the views and positions of candidates prior to an election.
We strongly encourage TWEC members to attend, as well as all eligible voters in the area. This forum is an invaluable opportunity to engage with the candidates, ask questions that matter to you, and hear firsthand how their policies and priorities could shape our future.
Get Involved
Your participation is crucial in fostering an informed and engaged community. By attending this event, you are contributing to a stronger, more democratic process where the voices of our community members are heard and respected.
I look forward to seeing you at Meet the Candidates night and working together to ensure a bright and informed future for our cooperative and our community.
