Keeping with the oft-stated, an informed electorate builds a stronger and more transparent democracy, Linda Andreas recently turned down Rachelle Bauerle for Madison County Clerk invitation to a public forum.
A pattern has developed among Republicans now that Erica Harris has done the same, refused to engage with the voters in a forum with Marsie for Illinois that would be a healthy step towards building upon the same cliche' - an informed electorate.
Voters should all be asking: Are the GOP incumbents fearful of exposing their record or perhaps they are not confident with allowing the public of the knowledge - or lack thereof - they should possess for the offices they hold?

The Republican incumbents for Illinois' 56th Senate District and Madison County Clerk & Recorder have declined invitations to participate in upcoming public candidate forums, meaning voters will hear directly from our Democratic candidates - but not from the people currently holding those offices.
