With primary elections approaching on Aug. 12, determining who to vote for can be challenging. It can be difficult to get an accurate understanding of a candidate’s beliefs, personal interactions and plans if elected. To help aid in the process, the American Fork Citizen and Lehi Free Press, in partnership with American Fork Junior High, will host a “Meet the Candidates” night with candidates for the Aspen Peaks School Board on July 21 at 6:30 p.m.
The program will provide candidates the opportunity to interact with the public and answer questions about their plans if elected to the new school board. Candidates are vying for seats 1, 2, 5, 6 and 7 in the newly formed Aspen Peaks School District. The district covers the American Fork, Lehi, Alpine, Cedar Hills, Highland and part of Draper.
A meet-and-greet with candidates will begin at 6:30 p.m. and last for approximately 25 minutes, followed by a Q-and-A at 7 p.m. in the auditorium. Questions will be selected from community suggestions, which must be submitted before the event. To suggest a question, email editor@afcitizen.
The primary election will be held on Aug. 12 followed by a General Election on Nov. 4. Ballots can be mailed in or dropped off at any ballot drop box in Utah County. For more information regarding upcoming elections, visit vote.utahcounty.gov.
