HOLLAND, MI (WHTC-AM/FM) – The Holland Area League of Women Voters is hosting a public forum leading up to November’s mayoral election.
Voters will get a chance to meet with Council Members Myron Trethewey and Quincy Byrd who do not face challengers in November and newcomer Scott Corbin who is filling a vacancy will also be on hand.
This informal gathering on the City Hall rotunda at 5:45 p.m. on October 24, leads up to the League of Women Voters mayoral forum that evening at 7 p.m. Following the meet and greet you’ll head to city council chambers for a forum with the Mayor of Holland Nancy DeBoer and current City Council Member Jay Peters.
The League of Women Voters says that both candidates have differing views on important issues facing our community. From affordable housing to budget priorities like the Civic Center. This is your chance to ask the candidates direct questions and hear the answers unfiltered. You can also submit written questions.
Penny Shuff is Public Relations Director of the League of Women Voters and says the League is open to men too.
“If you’re interested in learning more about how the democratic works locally as well as statewide, the League of Women Voters is the place for you. It’s a non-partisan group, but we organize candidate forums, we’re interested in voter service, very interested in the history of voting rights and if you’re interesting in women and men who are very active in this community then you should come out.”
The mayoral forum to open to all Holland residents.
