Candidates Forum scheduled, other venues also available
On Tuesday, Jan. 30, the Oshkosh Area League of Women Voters will host a candidates forum for those running for Oshkosh Common Council and Oshkosh Area School District Board of Education in next month’s primary election. For those who wish to attend in person, the forum will be held on the fourth floor in room 404, adjoining the City Council Chambers.
The five candidates for school board – Dan Becker, Karen Bowen, John Daggett, Michelle Monte and Teresa Thiel – will make statements and field questions from the designated panel and the audience between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m.
The seven candidates for Common Council – Bryan Bain, Bob Cornell, Jessica King, Kent Monte, Mark Nielsen, Tony Palmeri and Meredith Scheuermann – will have their question and answer session from 8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
If you cannot attend in person, the forum will air live on CitiCable Channel 10 and be simulcast on community radio station WOCT 101.9 FM. There will also be a number of replays between now and the primary election on Tuesday, Feb. 20. You can visit OCAT’s web site at www.ocatonline.com for replay times.
The Oshkosh Northwestern will do its usual question and answer with the candidates and Eye on Oshkosh has been and will continue to conduct and air interviews with the various candidates during campaign season, as well. Some of the candidates also have web sites or blogs where you can find out more information about them and their positions. Hopefully between these venues, and whatever else may be offered between now and the election, voters will have enough information to make informed decisions about who they want representing them in office for the next few years (common council terms are two years each and school board members serve for three years).
In the primary election, one person from each slate of candidates will be eliminated and the remaining candidates will advance to the general election, scheduled for Tuesday, April 3.
