The Fayette Lions Club held its annual Meet the Candidates Night on Monday, Oct. 22, at the Fayette Opera House in Fayette.
Candidates in attendance were Democrats Ben Hanson and Martin “Marty” Stanbrough, who are running for Fayette County Supervisor, and Tammy Wolverton, who is running for Fayette County Treasurer. Republican Supervisors Darrel Dolf and Jeanine Tellin, who are running for re-election, and current Fayette County Treasurer Kyle Jacobsen also participated in the forum.
The candidates answered questions that were generated by the crowd before the forum began. Each candidate was given a chance to make an opening and closing statement while he or she answered questions in between. All six candidates were seated on the stage in the Fayette Opera House and answered questions in ascending and descending order.
Some questions were asked of only the Supervisors while others were asked of the Treasurer candidates. One question was asked of all six candidates. A majority of the questions asked of the Supervisor candidates were focused on the county’s secondary roads.
Below are the answers to two Supervisor questions and one Treasurer question.
