A Virtual Candidates Night tonight features individuals vying for the Churchill County Commission District 3 and the Churchill County School Board races.
Radio stations KVLV (980 AM) and KKTU (99.5 FM) are broadcasting the Virtual Candidates Night. The historic Fallon Fraternal Hall & Community Center is hosting the event in its small meeting room, but because of restrictions placed on large gatherings by the governor’s directives, Candidates Night is closed to the public.
The Fallon Post and the Lahontan Valley News will serve as moderators.
Co-sponsored by The Fallon Post, Lahontan Valley News and Lahontan Broadcasting, the Candidates Night begins at 6:15 p.m. The Fallon Churchill Fire Department will discuss County Question 1 which provides funding for equipment. An overview of the voting procedures for the general election follows.
The county commission candidates are scheduled to discuss key issues beginning between 6:35-6:45 p.m. School board is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.
For the commission seat, Kelli Kelly is the Democratic candidate and Gregory S. Koenig is the Republican candidate. The nonpartisan Churchill County School Board candidates are incumbents Phil Pinder, Tricia Strasdin and Kathryn Whitaker, and challengers Gregg Malkovich and Lee Tisdale.
