And the race begins to November 5!

And the race begins to November 5!
















It is now after 5:00PM and the city and school board period for filing for the November 5, 2019 local elections is over and the field is set. From Friday evening through today four people filed for city council and one person filed for the school board.

Everyone in the city election has an opponent and only one in the school board has one. The ballot draw for city council will be this Thursday at the City Secretary's office at 9:00AM. This will determine the order their name is placed on the ballot. The ballot draw for the school board election will be Monday, August 26, at 9:00AM.

Normally, the AARP Chapter, the Chamber of Commerce, and the VFW hold candidate forums for the candidates so be on the look out for their schedules. What would be good would be a town hall style debate for them, so that the issues can be discussed. We shall see if this happens.

"Speak Up!!! Copperas Cove" will be sending questions to all candidates and we will publish them for all to see. We also intend to request from the governing bodies all Campaign Finance Reports (30 days, 8 days, and Final Reports) throughout the campaign. Total transparency. As we go to city meetings and functions, we will to the best of our ability show the attendance of these potential future leaders of our city.

Good luck to all the candidates!
