The Barry County Republican party will be holding a special Meet the Republican Candidates event at Crowder College next week with U.S. Senator Roy Blunt as the featured speaker. The meeting will be held on Monday, July 18, beginning at 6 p.m., and there will be a free barbecue dinner for those attending.
The Barry County Republicans host this event annually as a way for local residents to get to know the candidates appearing on the Primary and/or General Election ballots.
David Cole, of the Barry County Republicans, said, “Statewide candidates, congressional candidates, as well as our local candidates will be there, and it’ll be a good opportunity for voters to see all of these people in one place. It’ll be a good thing.”
Senator Blunt will be the featured speaker, and each of the candidates on the national, state and local levels will be given the opportunity to address the crowd and present their positions.
Senator Blunt is a United State Senator representing Missouri since 2011. Sen. Blunt was Missouri U.S. Congressional Representative for the 7th District from 1997 to 2011. He also served as Missouri Secretary of State from 1985 to 1993.
This will not be a forum with open questions, but rather an opportunity for voters to get to know the candidates running for office.
Contested local races are the positions of Barry County Sheriff and Barry County Public Administrator. The Republican candidate who takes the August Primary will face Democrat candidate Dave Ruark in the General Election on November 8. The Public Administrator Republican candidate will be unopposed in the General Election.
Additional candidates on the Republican Primary Ballot were also invited. Contested offices are U.S. Senator, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, and U.S. Representative for District. Unopposed in the Primary are incumbents State Treasurer Eric Schmitt, District 29 Date Senator David Sater, District 158 State Representative Scott Fitzpatrick and Northern District County Commissioner Gary Schad. Additionally, Matt F. Cupps is going to be facing incumbent Democrat Wayne Hendrix in the General Election
The August 2, 2016, Primary Election is already open for absentee voting which will conclude on Monday, August 1. Polls will be open the day of the Primary from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
