The Amarillo League of Women Voters will host a “Meet the Candidates” reception Monday. An informal meeting of the candidates will begin at 5:45 p.m. followed by the program at 6:30 p.m. The event will give the public an opportunity to know who is running for state representative, the state board of education, the U.S. House of Representatives, judicial positions, county commissioners and other county offices – and their platforms – and thus be able to cast more informed votes, said Barbara Cheek, LWV voter service vice president. The event will be in the large meeting room off Center Court at Sunset Center at 3701 Plains Blvd. Those attending can enter from the north or east parking lots. For more information call Lou Ann Garrett at 373-8289 or Barbara Cheek at 383-5848.
