Angela LeFevre, of Sedona, and Doug Ballard, of Parks, answered questions Saturday, Aug. 11, at the League of Women Voters of Sedona-Verde Valley candidate forum in Cottonwood.

Republican candidates Brenda Barton, of Safford, and Bob Thorpe, of Flagstaff, did not attend the event.

Two seats are available in the Arizona House of Representatives. All four candidates advance from the primary to the general election.
