Fewer than two weeks remain before the polls close and Monroe County weighs in on a number of issues ranging from medical marijuana to who will govern Florida and candidates are making the final push for votes.

This past Wednesday, Marathon’s Business and Professional Women’s Club hosted a political forum with the Weekly Newspapers in a casual meet-and-greet at First State Bank of the Florida Keys. Congressional candidate Carlos Curbelo mixed with local candidates like those running for judicial seats, Mosquito Control, Monroe County Commission and Marathon City Council.
