LWV Forum Thursday
PLAINFIELD - The League of Women Voters of Plainfield invites all city residents to attend its Board of Education Candidates’ Forum.
The forum will take place from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, April16 in the Anne Louise Davis Room of the Plainfield Public Library, 800 Park Ave., Plainfield.
The field of candidates includes seven vying for three three-year seats and three seeking an unexpired two-year term. Incumbents Rasheed Abdul-Haqq, Patricia Barksdale, Lisa Logan-Leach and appointee Joseph Ruffin Sr. are running for re-election. Challengers for the three-year terms are Mahogany Hendricks, Joanne Hollis and Brenda Gilbert.
Candidates for the unexpired term are Katherine Peterson, Tammy Westbrook and Terrence Williams. Candidates’ statements were included in an advertisement paid for by the League, published Sunday in the Courier News. The forum will follow the LWV format of an opening statement, responses to written questions from the audience and a closing statement. As required by LWV rules, an outside moderator will conduct the forum. Candidates who cannot attend may submit a one-minute typed opening statement that will be read by the moderator or a League member.
The League of Women Voters of Plainfield was formed in 1920 with the goal of registering and educating voters. All are welcome to join or to attend its meetings, 7 p.m. on first Thursdays of each month at the Plainfield Public Library. Call (908) 757-1873 for more information.

All I want to know is who Jerry & Sharon picked..so I don't vote for them.
The team which Jerry Green introduced at the city committee meeting and which he publicly said he is supporting consists of:
Brenda Gilbert (who is also running with Sharon for his city committee slate),
Lisa Logan-Leach,
Mahogany Hendricks,
Katherine Peterson.
