Whitewater Common Council Candidate Forum on March 1
The League of Women Voters Whitewater Area will hold a Candidate Forum for City of Whitewater Common Council candidates on Saturday, March 1, 10:00 am-11:30 am, in the City of Whitewater Community Room, 312 W Whitewater Street.
Mike Smith and J Christopher Wilt are in a contested race for the Common Council Aldermanic District 1 seat. Both candidates will be in attendance at the forum. Uncontested candidates, who will also be present at the forum, are Steven Sahyun (AD3) and Patrick Singer (At Large Seat). Neil Hicks, running unopposed in AD5, will not be attending. League board member Lynn Binnie will serve as moderator.
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.
Bring your family and neighbors! Be an active participant in our democracy! And please mark your calendar for a WUSD School Board Candidate Forum, to be held on Saturday, March 15, 10 am – 11:30 am.
The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan political organization that encourages informed and active participation in government, works to increase understanding of major public policy issues and influences public policy through education and advocacy.
