Election 2008 Coverage

Last night we held our annual Candidate's Night at C-TEC featuring the candidates running for Licking County Commissioner: Tim Bubb vs. Doug Moreland and Mark VanBuren vs. Brad Feightner as well as candidates running for State Representative for the 71st and 91st House Districts: Jay Hottinger vs. Howard Hill and Dan Dodd vs. Bill Hayes.

It was an enjoyable evening and I want to thank our sponsor, Hopewell Federal Credit Union for their continued support of the Chamber and a big thanks to C-TEC for hosting the event in their beautiful facility.

Tim Fitterer also deserves kudos for making the program run smoothly. Tim is the chairman of our Government Affairs Committee. And I also want to recognize Lois Ridgley, our Event Coordinator, for all her time and effort in putting this event together.

Here is short video from the event last night:
