more’s auctioneering talent and
humor the event earned $1,600.
Following a brief intermission, it
was time to get down to the
business at hand. Under the
guidelines of the forum, master of
ceremonies, Precinct 2 Commis-
sioner Lee Groce, called each
candidate to the podium to briefly
stated his or her platform in the
race.
The forum began with
statements from two candidates
in the race for 75th District Judge
— Harlan Friend and Zeke
Zbranek. Friend and Zbranek
both echoed the same sen-
timents, each saying the most
jjfttey can promise to the voters is
^Pbe fair and impartial and work
hard.
The next speakers were the
two candidates for the County
Judge race — incumbent Demp-
sie Henley and Lamar Iverson.
Henley said during the 12 years
he has served as County Judge
projects completed include the
completion of the U.S. 59 bypass,
constructon of the county annex
in Cleveland and the building of
Ms prison. He said there are
yfher projects in the works which
he would like to complete.
Iverson told the crowd she felt
Liberty County has a problem,
mfrh the biggest being a lack of
\|ladership. She said she is
looking for leadership which will
bring ethics back into county
government. She said she will
work for economic development
in the county, and felt there is a
heed for more industry in Liberty
County.
Chap Cain and Don Taylor,
candidates for County Court at
Law Judge, were next on the
agenda. Cain said the position for
which he is running is an impor-
tant one for the county, taking up
the slack for the district courts.
He said he felt he had the ex-
perience and the compassion for
wiob-
Taylor said he felt his back-
ground as a child welfare worker
and in family law gives him the
experience and compassion for
the position of County Court at
Law Judge. He the court is impor-
tant for the people of Liberty
County.
; The next candidate was Joy
McManus, running unopposed for
re-election as District Clerk.
McManus told the crowd she
works for the clerk for the 75th
and 253rd District Courts, as well
as the County Court at Law in
family cases. She said she pled-
ges to continue her dedication, in-
tegrity, experience and profes-
sionalism.
The three candidates for
County Treasurer, Dorene Blanc-
hard, Tom Odell and incumbent
Winn Skidmore, were next. Blanc-
hard was unable to attend the
forum and Evelyn Savoy spoke in
her place. Savoy said Blanchard
has had experience in various
areas of business and govern-
ment and will serve with honor
and integrity.
Skidmore said campaign pro-
mises she has kept in her first
term of office are hard work, sin-
cerity and to earn as much in-
terest as possible on tax dollars.
She said she has maintained an
open line of communications with
the citizens.
Odell told the gathering he
would look over the commis-
sioners’ shoulders to attempt to
control taxes. He said the
treasurer is the economic watc-
hdog for the county and felt he
has the experience to do the job
for the citizens of the county.
Wanda Barker, running un-
noposed for re-election as County
Clerk, was the next speaker. Bar-
ker said she appreciated the sup-
port given to her by the voters.
She said she also appreciated in-
put from citizens of the county.
Next on the list were Louis Be-
rgman and L. Michael Huel-
sebusch, candidates for the un-
paid position of County Surveyor.
Bergman said he felt he could
best serve the citizens of
Cleveland, Tarkington and the
entire county as surveyor. He
said he felt it is important to par-
ticipate in the political system.
Huelsebusch told the gathering
his experience in the field
qualifies him to hold the position
of surveyor. He said candidates
for the position don’t have to
make campaign promises they
have to keep.
Groce then changed hats and
spoke as the unopposed cand-
idate for re-election as Precinct 2
County Commissioner. Groce
said he thanked everyone for the
support given him in his first term
as commissioner. He said he felt
it has made him a better com-
missioner and the people were
the first priority.
Larry Allen and Gordon Wyatt,
candidates for Justice of the
Peace Precinct 5, were next. In-
cumbent Marvin Powell was
scheduled to speak, but was cal-
led away due to illness in the
family.
Allen said his experience as a
peace officer in Liberty County
give him the qualifications for the
job of justice of the peace. He
said he would work hard to see
that Precinct 5 is well represented
in the county before Commis-
sioners’ Court.
Wyatt, the only Republican
candidate in the race, told the
crowd he has served in many
civic, school and volunteer or-
ganizations. He said his work in
the areas of insurance, invest-
ment counseling and estate
planning gives him experience in
the person-to-person decisions
for the position of justice of the
peace.
The position of State Rep-
resentative District 21 was next
and the two candidates were
Cindy Jenkins and incumbent
Mark Stiles. Stiles was unable to
attend and Charles Barker spoke
for him at the forum.
Jenkins was first and told the
gathering she understand the
problems of living in a small town
and operating a small business.
She felt she felt the small
businesses are the lifeblood of
the community and said she
would pay attention to those
areas. She said legislators should
come to the people to find out
what their needs are.
Barker said Stiles has never
been inaccessible to the citizens.
He said he feels Stiles represents
the district well and works for all
the peopld in District 21. He said
Stiles believes in God, his family
and education and encouraged
everyone to support the represen-
tative.
The final position on the
agenda was the only national
race, that of United States
Senator. The lone candidate for
the position present was Harley
Schlanger of Houston.
Schlanger, who is opposing in-
cumbent Phil Gramm, said this
country was built by people who
had a dream. He told the crowd
the dreams of some people are
being shattered. Schlanger said
he wants a chance to have his
dreams mesh with those of the
citizens.
Although the crowd was small
at the first ‘Meet the Candidates’
forum at Tarkington, those pre-
sent were given a chance to listen
to the candidates and receive
direct contact with those running
for public office. Those not in at-
tendance missed an opportunity
to gain first-hand knowledge of
the candidates and where they
stand.
