July 13 meeting: everything you wanted to know about Bay County politics but were afraid to ask . . .
By Richard Plantec, 1st Vice President and Programs Chair
You and your questions will be the stars of this month’s meeting. You will have the opportunity to ask questions of your favorite Republican candidates. First of all, we have invited the two candidates for 14th Circuit Judge, Pete Mallory and Mike Reiter, to give a brief statement, followed by a few of your questions. Next, we will have a question and answer period with any of the candidates who attend the meeting. This will be in addition to our usual candidate soapbox. Don’t miss this opportunity to get to know our great Republican candidates! Keep reading to find out how you can make dinner reservations.
