Editor’s note: The following press release was provided by the League of Women Voters Whitewater Area.

The League of Women Voters Whitewater Area will hold a Candidate Forum for City of Whitewater Common Council candidates on Saturday, March 2, 1 p.m. – 2:30 p.m., in the City of Whitewater Council Chambers, 312 W Whitewater Street.  

Greg Majkrzak and Keith Staebler are in a contested race for the Common Council At Large seat. The uncontested candidates, who will also be present at the forum, are Brian Schanen (District 4, Wards 6/7/8), and Orin Smith (District 2, Wards 9/10).

The League sponsors candidate forums for the benefit of YOU, the voter. At the forum, you will be asked to write your questions on cards distributed by the League. Questions are reviewed by question checkers, who sort them by topic and check for redundancy, before forwarding them to the moderator. We do not accept questions targeted to specific candidates. Questions prepared by the League board will be used only if there are not enough questions provided by residents in attendance at the forum.
