Candidates quizzed by citizens on data centers, school funding, war in Iran, corruption in Trump administration

Even the most polished politicians were challenged by the Candidates Round Table held in Wood County last weekend. The League of Women Voters format was the modified “speed dating” process – with one candidate sitting at a table with up to eight citizens, answering questions for eight minutes before moving on to the next table with the next group of voters. That meant eight-minute campaign pitches – 17 times.
