You have a couple of options to find out more about some of the candidates for state legislature and for county treasurer.

A forum sponsored by the Effingham County Chamber of Commerce and Effingham County Farm Bureau Thursday featured county treasurer candidates Sheila Braun and Paula Miller, both seeking the Republican nomination. There is no Democrat candidate.

Also participating in the forum were candidates for 107th District state representative...Republicans Blaine Wilhour of Beecher City and Laura Myers of Greenville and Democrat David Seiler of Effingham. The incumbent, John Cavaletto of Salem, is not seeking re-election.

The other participants were the four hopefuls for the Republican nomination for 54th District State Senate...Jason Plummer of Edwardsville, Rafael Him of New Baden, George Barber of Greenville and Benjamin Stratemeyer of Centralia. There is no Democrat candidate. The incumbent, Kyle McCarter of Troy, is not seeking another term.

The audio from the forum will be on 979XFM and www.979xfm.com Saturday beginning at 9am.
