Meet the Candidates

Front Royal Elections 2020 issues: A conversation with Jeff Browne, EDA Chairman

Published

on

Meet the Candidates is a series on the Royal Examiner where we will sit down with each candidate in our local election and discuss issues that are important to all of us. The Royal Examiner asked Michael Graham, a former Town Manager of Front Royal to host these conversations. As a former Town Manager, Michael has an insight into the issues facing the Town and hopefully be able to bring out from each candidate their vision and plan if they are to be elected in the November 3rd election.

One of the major issues brought out in these interviews is the financial arrangements regarding the Front Royal Police Department.  Graham invited Jeff Browne, EDA Chairman to our studio to brings us up-to-date with this issue.
