The call to “meet, listen, learn and vote” reflects a broader regional emphasis on informed civic participation and transparent local governance.

📅 When and What to Expect

Van Buren County elections are scheduled for Tuesday, August 6th.

💡 Why This Matters

County elections determine who will serve in positions that directly affect daily life in Dunlap and across Sequatchie Valley—from county commission and sheriff to clerk, assessor, and school board roles.

When voters take time to meet candidates and understand their positions before voting, they strengthen the likelihood that elected officials will reflect community values and priorities. 🏛️
