X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=TEXT/HTML:<p>We meet at the <a href='https://bransongold
 encorral.com/'>Golden Corral in Branson</a> every 3rd Friday of the month.
 </p>\n<p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p>We would like to invite you to present your campa
 ign at the Taney County Republicans’ Municipal Candidate Forums. These are
  “Meet the Candidate” events for Republican candidates running in the Apri
 l 7\, 2026 Municipal Election. Candidates are welcome to participate in on
 e or both forums.</p>\n<p><strong>Forum Details</strong></p>\n<p><strong>W
 estern Taney County Forum</strong><br />&nbsp\; Friday\, March 20\, 2026<b
 r />&nbsp\; Forum: 12:00–1:00 p.m.<br />&nbsp\; Doors Open / Meet &amp\; G
 reet: 11:00 a.m. (before and after the forum)<br />&nbsp\; Golden Corral –
  Large Meeting Room (Highway 248 end of building) Branson\, MO<br />&nbsp\
 ; Moderator: Stanley Merriman</p>\n<p>If you plan to eat\, please arrive e
 arly to allow enough time to dine prior to the forum.</p>\n<p>While the sc
 heduled forum time is one hour\, events may extend up to two hours if need
 ed. Based on the current ballot\, we do not anticipate needing additional 
 time.</p>\n<p><strong>Event Format &amp\; Expectations</strong></p>\n<ul>
 \n<li><span style='color: #000000\;'>This is a&nbsp\;<strong>speech-format
 -only</strong>&nbsp\;event.</span></li>\n<li><span style='color: #000000\;
 '>There will be&nbsp\;<strong>no audience questions</strong>&nbsp\;during 
 podium time.</span></li>\n<li><span style='color: #000000\;'>Questions may
  be asked and answered during the&nbsp\;<strong>one-on-one meet and greet<
 /strong>&nbsp\;before and after the forum.</span></li>\n<li><span style='c
 olor: #000000\;'>Speakers will follow&nbsp\;<strong>General Ballot order</
 strong>:</span>\n<ul>\n<li><span style='color: #000000\;'>Candidates in co
 ntested races will speak first.</span></li>\n<li><span style='color: #0000
 00\;'>Candidates running unopposed will speak after all contested races ha
 ve concluded.</span></li>\n</ul>\n</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Each candidate will be 
 given&nbsp\;<strong>five (5) minutes</strong>&nbsp\;to introduce themselve
 s and discuss their campaign. This time limit will be&nbsp\;<strong>strict
 ly enforced</strong>\, so we recommend preparing a four-minute speech to a
 llow for flexibility.</p>\n<p>Candidates may bring campaign materials to d
 isplay or distribute and are encouraged to arrive early and stay afterward
  to mingle with attendees.</p>\n<p><strong>Party Affiliation Statement</st
 rong></p>\n<p>This is a Republican event. We ask that candidates clearly s
 tate during their remarks whether or not they support Republican political
  philosophy.</p>\n<p>Although municipal candidates are not required to dec
 lare party affiliation on the ballot\, political philosophy often reflects
  how an individual will govern if elected. If a candidate does not address
  this during their remarks\, the moderator will ask a single direct questi
 on regarding party alignment before the candidate leaves the podium. We st
 rongly encourage candidates to incorporate this information into their pre
 pared remarks.</p>\n<p>Candidates who do not align with Republican philoso
 phy are encouraged to participate in events hosted by organizations that r
 eflect their values.</p>\n<p><strong>Additional Notes for Uncontested Race
 s</strong></p>\n<p>Candidates running unopposed are asked to keep their re
 marks focused on their own campaign only. Promoting another candidate duri
 ng your time is not permitted\, as it creates an unfair advantage. Due to 
 past issues\, this policy will be enforced consistently to ensure fairness
  and transparency for all candidates.</p>\n<p><strong>Media &amp\; Promoti
 on</strong></p>\n<p>Both forums will be livestreamed on our Facebook page\
 , where posts are boosted and typically viewed by at least 1\,000 local us
 ers. Videos remain available for 30 days and are also promoted on our webs
 ite.</p>\n<p>The Taney County Republicans do not promote or oppose individ
 ual candidates\, except during a General Election when a Republican faces 
 a Democrat. All candidates will be treated equally. A moderator and timeke
 eper will be present to ensure the event runs smoothly.</p>\n<p><strong>Qu
