The candidates are:

Tuesday, July 5, is the voter registration deadline to participate in the Primary Election. Ballots will be mailed out on Wednesday, July 6.

Leading up to the forum and the election, the Independent is conducting online Q&A’s with the candidates to better learn each person’s position on various topics important to city residents including water issues, the housing market and more.
