The Shiawassee Regional Chamber of Commerce (SRCC) will host candidates running for the 24th District State Senate seat at the upcoming Topics @ Twelve luncheon on Tuesday, Oct. 30. Four candidates are running for the seat, a four-year term representing the counties of Shiawassee, Clinton, Eaton and a portion of Ingham County. Candidates include Democrat Kelly Rossman-McKinney, Republican Tom Barrett, Libertarian Katie Nepton and U.S. Taxpayers candidate Matthew Shepard.
“Through elections, citizens have the ability to decide on who represents them in government, be it a local official, a state or national representative, or the president. Citizens who cast their vote on Election Day fulfill the most basic action in a democratic society. The chamber is excited to provide a forum by which residents can interact with those seeking to represent our senate, and I hope you will join us at the event,” said SRCC President/CEO Jeff Deason.
The Topics @ Twelve program on Oct. 30 will be held at the Comstock Inn & Conference Center in Owosso. The luncheon will begin at 11:45 a.m. and conclude at 1 p.m. Program admission is $12 per person for any SRCC member and $15 per person for non-members. The public is invited to attend.
