Carmel Democrats have made history with one mayoral and seven city council candidates for office in the upcoming November election.
“Carmel residents don’t often get a choice at the ballot box,” said Beth Sprunger, Vice President of the Carmel Democratic Club. “This year, there will be a record number of people to choose from, but many voters are still not aware.”
So, the club will hold what’s called a “Human Library” where, instead of books, citizens can “check out” their candidates for office, get to know them, and make more informed decisions about their own democracy. The entire community is invited to stay informed by attending this event.
The event will take place from 5 to 7 p.m. this evening, Aug. 16, in Community Room A at the Carmel Clay Public Library, 425 E. Main St.
The candidates for office are Miles Nelson for Mayor; Sara Draper and Jake Madore for City Council, At-Large; Melanie Brown, Northwest District; Courtney Culver, North Central District; Jeremy Eltz, South East District; Jessica Irvine, South Central District; and Anita Joshi, West District.
