The Johnston Democratic Town Committee this week announced that it has scheduled an endorsement meeting for Wednesday, June 27, at 6 pm at party headquarters, 1500 Atwood Ave. (in the same plaza as Taso's Restaurant).

Eligible candidates who are seeking the Democratic endorsement in this year's elections will be given five minutes to make a presentation, and have a five-minute question and answer period with committee members, the committee announced in a press release.
