Upcoming Forum:

I have heard that the Community Media Center (CMC) will be holding a 2022 District 5 – Commissioner Candidate Forum by the end of the month (I believe the date may be June 30th.)

At this time the CMC has not posted public information about this forum on their website so I would recommend following this page for additional details if the forum does happen: https://www.carrollmediacenter.org/2022-primary-election-candidates


The Carroll County Observer will be releasing the Carroll County State’s Attorney candidate campaign finance reports soon. Stay tuned.
