Tonight’s meeting is the final in a line of the group’s Pre-Primary Informed Voter events. It will be held at the Lawrenceburg Firehouse, 310 West Tate Street, beginning at 6:30.

 

Candidates appearing include Don Bates, John Hatter, Travis Hankins, Joe Van Wye, and Bill Frazier – all Republicans.
