DINGMANS FERRY, PA — The Pike County Member-at-Large (MAL) Chapter of the League of Women Voters (LWV) will hold public forums for the county elections for commissioner and district attorney on Monday, October 19 at the Dingman Delaware Middle School auditorium. The commissioners forum will begin at 7 p.m., with the district attorney forum following at approximately 8:30 p.m. Both are open to the public and the press.

The commissioner candidates are Republicans Richard Caridi and Matthew Osterberg and Democrats Steven Guccini and David Ruby. The district attorney candidates are Republicans Kelly Gaughan and Ray Tonkin. All have accepted the LWV invitation to debate.

The rules are standard practice by LWV of Pennsylvania (LWVPA). President Susan Carty will serve as moderator for both events. Questions will be solicited from the public and screened by LWVPA.

The LWVPA board granted the Pike County group MAL status in August, which will allow it to work toward full chapter status. For those interested in becoming members, the LWVPA has a membership web page at www.palwv.org/join. Dues are $60 a year for individuals, and $90 for a household membership, which includes a membership for one and a half-price membership for one other person. Email PikeLWV@gmail.com.
