There are four candidates running for two open seats on the school board. They have all confirmed their participation: Miguel Aranda, Jennifer Kienbaum (incumbent), Joseph Kromholz (incumbent), and Andrea Svec. The League will be assisted in running the forum by Whitewater High School students under the supervision of the League and WHS American Government teacher Greg Stewart. The forum will be co-moderated by WHS students, Junior Alex Martin and Senior Aldo Rodriguez. The League is delighted to provide an opportunity for these students to engage in the democratic process alongside us.
If you have questions for the candidates but are unable to attend the in person forum, please submit your questions electronically via the following Google Form by Wednesday, March 9.
Submit questions for School Board candidates at WUSD School Board Candidate Forum Submission Form.
Candidate questions prepared by the LWV Whitewater Area board and WHS students will be used if there are not enough questions provided by the public. The League does not accept questions targeted to specific candidates.
The forum will be filmed by Whitewater Community TV and live streamed to their Vimeo website. A recording will be rebroadcast on channel 990 and made available on our website, https://my.lwv.org/wisconsin/whitewater-area, during the weeks leading up to the April 5 Spring Election.
