A much delayed update on candidates corner! – Please join us on Facebook this week on Tuesday and Thursday night for an open forum with two Magistrate candidates.

The first with Kelcey Rock , Magistrate candidate for District 6, on Tuesday March 15th at 6:00 PM.

Then we will have Shawn Helbig Candidate for Magistrate candidate for District 6 – on Thursday March 17th at 6:00 PM.

To help start the conversation, we have asked each candidate to answer three questions, and provide a short biography. Their Bio and answers will be posted here and on our Facebook group at 8:00 AM on the day of their Candidates Corner forum.

If you cannot be there – please send your questions to myself or Rob Holdsworth and we will make sure they get posted during the event.

The event will be proctored, and we are asking everyone to be polite, and stick to topics that are germane to Warren County. We look forward to continuing this through the election season, by having candidates for City Council, Warren county and City school boards, Judge Executive, and State House and Senate races.

A key component of our mission is to help citizens in Warren County understand the candidates, and make key well informed decisions on who should be leading the fight for your goals and concerns.

Following each forum, the forum thread will be closed to comment, and the transcript from the night will be uploaded to our website for future reference.

Please let your friends and family know about these events – we get one opportunity every two to four years to make our voices heard and to ask our candidates what their positions are. Don’t miss yours. We will be announcing dates for at least another 4 candidates

Remember the 2020 Election Ballot?

At least SEVEN local offices were filled with a candidate that had NO OPPOSITION.

Bowling Green and Warren County elected two State Representatives, the Mayor, Members of the City and County School Board simply because there was no other choice.

Republicans in Warren County had NO candidate to represent District 20.

We can no longer afford to elect candidates by default.

We have a responsibility as citizens of this community to encourage those who are staunch Conservatives to run for elected office.

Know someone who would make a great candidate? Tell us! Warren County Conservatives formed a committee to recruit, vet and endorse candidates for the 2022 Elections. Email candidate recommendations to tonjawilt@yahoo.com.

Dear Deplorables, it is time to learn how to run for elected office.

Did you know that next year citizens of Bowling Green and Warren County will elect new school board members, city commissioners, a new Fiscal Court, a judge-executive, and other important positions?

Have you thought about running for office, but are unsure where to start? The window for candidates to file initial paperwork begins in a few weeks, so it’s time to consider all of these questions.

We are painfully aware of how important it is to choose our local officials wisely. Many times local candidates HAVE NO OPPONENT, which means voters have no choice. This must change.

Perhaps you have considered elected office? Or know someone that is interested? Initial inquiries about running for office start with the Warren County Clerk’s office.

As we learn more, we will share information here. In the meantime, I ask you to thoughtfully consider running for office, or talking to someone you think would represent our conservative interests well. If we want to keep Bowling Green and Warren County conservative, we must act now.
