ENGLEWOOD — Just four candidates for Charlotte County Commission came to speak at the Englewood East Homeowner’s Association Candidates’ Forum on Wednesday night at the Tringali Center.

The four candidates who attended were Republicans Ken Doherty, George Kearns and Susan Kovacs — all running for District 1; and Democrat Valerie Guenther, running for District 3. All four were rewarded with longer speaking times. Candidates William G. Truex, Tricia Duffy (incumbent), Nirmilla Jitta and Joanne Marie Mulvaney — all Republicans — were not present.
