Local Democrats to hold meet & greet at Carmel VFW

The Hamilton County Democratic Party will hold a candidate meet and greet for all Democratic candidates on the ballot in Hamilton County. This will be a social event where the public will have a chance to meet candidates running in their district.

The event will begin at 6 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 13 at the Carmel VFW, 12863 Old Meridian St., Carmel.

With the election just over 30 days away, it is important for the public to have opportunities to meet candidates and talk about their concerns and the issues important to them. This will be a great opportunity to have several candidates in one location.

The VFW is a non-partisan organization and agreed to host one event for each of the two main parties leading up to the election.

To date, the candidates who have confirmed attendance include: Tom McDermott (U.S. Senate), Destiny Wells (Secretary of State), Jessica Paxson (Hamilton County Prosecutor), JD Ford (Indiana Senate District 29), Josh Lowry (Indiana Senate District 21), Matt McNally (Indiana House District 39), Victoria Garcia Wilburn (Indiana House District 32) and Joey Mayer (Indiana House District 24).
