Remaining conversations are with Pat Turbett, candidate SLC District 10 and David Forsythe, candidate for the 118th Assembly on Oct. 22, followed by Gavin Regan, SLC District 11, and Russell Finley, SLC District 8, on Oct. 29.
The civic partners for the conversations are AAUW-St. Lawrence County and AAUW-Jefferson County, the League of Women Voters of St. Lawrence County, North Country Public Radio (NCPR), the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network, WPBS-TV, the North Country Region of NYS-PTA, and the Center for Excellence in Communication at Clarkson University.
The partners say the conversations are an exercise in civic and civil engagement to restore our political process, which has become dominated by big money, special interest organizations and the political parties who have swamped our system beneath a tidal wave of money, pressure, advertising, and political calculation designed to manipulate rather than inform voters.
