The two candidates seeking the 4th District position on the Barton County Commission were in attendance Tuesday night at the Candidate Forum that was held at Great Bend High School and hosted by the League of Women Voters.

Current 4th District Commissioner Alicia Straub was proud of her voting record during her first term on the board.

Straub is being opposed in the 4th District by Great Bend businessman Randy Suchy who plans to use his construction experience to his and the county’s advantage if elected.

Kenny Schremmer in the 1st District and Jennifer Schartz in the 5th District are also up for re-election but are running unopposed as they seek yet another term on the board.

Those in attendance Tuesday night also heard from Nick Reinecker and Alan LaPolice who are seeking to unseat incumbent Roger Marshall in the 1st District U.S. House race. They also heard from several candidates who are running for Great Bend City Council, candidates we will hear from later this week.

If you couldn’t attend Tuesday night’s forum you can do so Wednesday afternoon starting at 5:30 p.m. on 1590 KVGB and 97.7 FM. KVGB will broadcast the forum in its entirety. It will also be available later on greatbendpost.com
