Liberty Belles Republican Women held their January lunch meeting on January 11, 2024 at the Clubhouse. Almost a hundred people attended the forum for candidates for Sheriff (Rand Henderson, Kenton Ford and Wesley Doolittle) and  Justice for the 9th Court of Appeals (Kenna Seiler and Kent Chambers). They each spoke about their lives including their backgrounds, families, education, reasons for running and plans if elected. The purpose for the forum was to help educate voters in our area. There will be other opportunities to learn more about the candidates running in the March 5 election.
For voting you must be registered to vote by February 5, 2024. You may Vote Early February 20 – March 1, 2024. The closest place to Panorama for early voting is the community center at 600 Gerald Street in Willis. Voting information can be found at Election Central online.Â
