The Sarasota County Council of Neighborhood Associations will host a forum for the candidates campaigning for state House districts 72 and 73 at 7 p.m. Monday, April 11, at the Sarasota Garden Club, 1131 Boulevard of the Arts. Candidates Sara Kathleen Blackwell, Ed James III and Alexandra Cynthia Miller, who are seeking the seat for district 72, and James Golden, Joe Gruters and Steve Vernon, who are seeking the seat for district 73, have been invited to attend. Using atypical question formats and timing, CONA makes an effort to provide its members and the public with a more thorough understanding of the positions of each candidate than usually achieved at candidate forums. Dan Lobeck will moderate. The event is free and open to the public.
