The Apple Valley Republicans will be hosting a Candidates Night on October 11, 2023 at 7 PM. The event will take place at the Floral Valley Community Center, 850 Crestrose Drive in Howard, Ohio. The event will be moderated by WNZR 90.9 FM Afternoon Drive host Joe Rinehart.
The first race to be covered will be Howard Township Fiscal Officer which has newcomers Amberly Frye and Darcy Knight. Current Fiscal Officer Carol Gilmore is retiring at the end of her current term.
Next will be Howard Township Trustee which has incumbent Craig Gilmore and challenger Martha Trese. Mr. Gilmore is completing the term of Joe Toth who resigned earlier this year due to moving out of the Township.
Finally will be candidates for East Knox School Board. Lindsay Bush and Alan Huffman are running unopposed for two four-year terms. Kathy Tate, Dean Opfer and Mark Hiner are running for the remainder of Matt Schwartz’s seat, which has two years remaining. Dean Opfer was appointed to that seat last June.
This event is non-partisan and all members of the community are invited to attend.
