These events are exclusively for DLA members and offer the opportunity to hear directly from candidates running for office in the upcoming August 6 primary. As the primary is effectively the final election due to most candidates filing as Republicans without other party challenges, it's crucial for members to make informed choices and vote in the August 6 primary.  These candidates set and administer policies that impact our lake and residents and you can make a difference in the outcome.
