With absentee voting starting 40 days before the Nov. 4 election and political yard signs lining the streets, Milan groups have worked to make sure voters have the information they need to make an informed choice.
The Milan Chamber of Commerce will host a “Meet the Candidates Forum” on Oct. 23 at 7 p.m. at Milan City Hall for city council and mayoral candidates.
In addition, the Library Board is hosting an event on Oct. 16 at 7 p.m. at the library to provide residents a chance to meet with all four candidates.
“It will be an informal opportunity for the public to meet the candidates,” said Library Board President Larry Biederman. “I’ll do a short general introduction and then each candidate will do their own short introduction. The remaining time will be casual conversations / mingling among the candidates and the general public.”
Candidates include:
City Council: (three spots)
Marie Gress, Connie Harrison, Jesse Nie, Councilmember Christian Thompson, and Mayor Pro-Tem Dr. Shannon Dare Wayne
Library Board: (two spots)
Rod Hill, Peter Kentes, Michelle K. Walters, Kelsey Winter
Mayor: (one spot)
Mayor Ed Kolar, Laura Russeau
