A chance to meet democrats running for office this fall is coming up this weekend. The Meet the Candidates event will be held from 3:15 to 7pm at 1008 North B Street in Fairfield, across from the entrance to Waterworks.

US Senate candidate Bruce Braley will be present from 3:15 to 5:30, candidate for Governor Jack Hatch from 3 to 7pm, candidate for state senate Steve Siegel from 3 to 4 and candidate for the state house of representatives Curt Hanson from 3 to 7pm.

Susie Drish, chair of the Jefferson County Democratic Party, says the informal event will give potential constituents the opportunity to mingle with the candidates.
