The political science program at Missouri Western State University is sponsoring two candidate forums in advance of the St. Joseph Municipal Primary Election. Candidates for mayor and city council districts I and V have been invited to the forum at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 30, and at-large council candidates have been invited to the forum at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 1. Both will be held in room 102 of the Hearnes Center on the Missouri Western campus, and are free and open to the public.<\/p>\n
Each candidate will be permitted two-minute opening and closing statements. The forum organizers will ask questions their own questions, as well as questions solicited from the audience.<\/p>\n
The primary election ballot on Feb. 6 will include five candidates for St. Joseph mayor, ten candidates for three at-large council seats, and three candidates each for city council in district I and district V. The other three council districts do not have a contested primary.<\/p>\n
Forums are also scheduled for March 27 and 29, before the city\u2019s general election.
