Heart Land Patriots set mayoral program

Heart Land Patriots information

The Van Wert County Heart Land Patriots will meet Tuesday, September 15, at 7 p.m. in the Fireside Room at Trinity Friends Church, 605 N. Franklin St. in Van Wert.

Tuesday evening’s meeting will serve as the annual fall candidates’ night, and will feature Van Wert city’s two mayoral candidates, Republican Jerry Mazur and independent candidate Joe Jared.

Both candidates will be given ample time to outline their agenda for the city if elected, and be available to answer questions from those in attendance. The candidates have differing ideas on how the city should be governed, so a question-and-answer session following each presentation should be interesting.

In addition, the Patriots will hear a report on another successful year of distributing information and engaging encounters with voters, not only from Van Wert County, but around the state and nation, at the group’s information booth at the Van Wert County Fair.

Hundreds of pages of literature and many copies of the U.S. Constitution were distributed, as well as registering several new voters for the November 3 general election.

More information on the Heart Land Patriots is available by calling the Rev. Keith Stoller at 419.968.2869.
