## Comments

- [Elizabeth Bennion Turba | 2026-03-02 22:27:27] This will be incredibly helpful to primary voters. ADP-sponsored events always focus on ISSUES that matter to local voters and are relevant to the office candidates are seeking. The ADP is trusted to treat all candidates fairly and to focus on educating and informing voters so that they can make up their own minds on Election Day. Past Elkhart County and St. Joseph County events co-sponsored with media partner ABC57 have been informative and well-produced. I applaud the candidates for participating and look forward to seeing a full event venue on April 8th!
- ↳ [shan robinson | 2026-03-03 23:15:20] Can you please advise how we voters can submit questions for the candidates?
- [shan robinson | 2026-03-02 23:07:28] Hello, wondering if we can submit questions for the sheriff's debate in April?  If so how can we go about that? Thank you for your attention to this matter.
