Announcing: Nevis City Council Candidate Forum: Oct 2nd

The League of Women Voters Park Rapids Area will hold a Candidate Forum for all candidates for the Nevis City Council on October 2nd beginning at 6:00 pm. It will be held at Nevis City Council Chambers, 102 Main Street West, Nevis, MN. 

 
The purpose of the Candidate Forum is to give City of Nevis voters an opportunity to hear their candidates discuss the issues of importance to them in this election.

 The candidates that have filed for Nevis City Council are: 

Jamie Caughey,
Teresa Leshovsky,
Mark Koebnick
Mary Carrier.
Sue Gray is running unopposed for mayor.   

The event is free and open to the public. The candidates will answer written questions from the public during this moderated event.

Voters attending the forum have two opportunities to submit questions to the candidates. Written questions will be accepted throughout the forum. Voters encouraged to submit questions via email by Sunday September 29th to LWV Park Rapids Area email: lwvparkrapids@lwvmn.org.

By League of Women Voter policy, the identity of the person asking the question is confidential. Any questions submitted via email will remain confidential with all identifying information removed before the event. The email option for submitting questions creates an opportunity for voters to ask questions in a more private manner because it guarantees anonymity. All questions are screened by a neutral committee to ensure that questions are applicable to all candidates, are forward looking, not personal in nature, and are addressed to subjects relevant to this forum.

League of Women Voter Candidate Forums follow the nonpartisan, unbiased and impartial format established by the League of Women Voters Minnesota. LuAnn Hurd-Lof, an LWVPRA member will moderate the forum. The League does not support or oppose political parties or candidates for public office.

Specific rules governing the Candidate Forum were given to each candidate along with information on how to prepare for the Forum.  We will be audio and video recording this Forum and making it available to voters on YouTube.
