In July, two free election seminars will be held in partnership between Naples Daily News and Sandy Parker, founder of the non-partisan political blog Sparker’s Soapbox.
“The purpose of the workshop is really to raise people’s awareness that the outcome of these elections is going to shape the future of Collier County,” said Parker. “It’s important to be paying attention and to let your voice be heard by voting.”
Seminar dates
Both seminars will cover the same topics and issues.
- The first seminar will be held on July 9 from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Collier County Library Headquarters, 2385 Orange Blossom Drive. The event is free and open to the public. Register at naplesnews.com/augustprimary
