The City of Whitewater asks members of the public to wear face masks in City-owned facilities, regardless of vaccination status.
There are four candidates running for three open seats on the Common Council and one contested race for the Member at Large seat. Participating candidates include: Jill Gerber (AD4, Wards 6/7/8) and Jim Allen (Member at Large – Incumbent) and Chuck Mills (Member At Large – Challenger). The forum will be moderated by League member and UW-Whitewater Professor of History Dr. Karl Brown.
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 Common Council candidates at City Council Candidate Forum Question Submission Form. Candidate questions prepared by the LWV Whitewater Area board 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 the League’s website, https://my.lwv.org/wisconsin/whitewater-area, during the weeks leading up to the April 5 Spring Election.
