Sturgeon Bay residents will have an opportunity to hear directly from the candidates on their ballot when the League of Women Voters of Door County hosts its first candidate forum next week.
The nonpartisan organization will welcome candidates for Sturgeon Bay Common Council Districts 4 and 6 to City Hall on March 11 at 6:30 p.m. for a 90-minute question-and-answer session.
District 4 candidates are Spencer Gustafson, the incumbent, and Joshua Julian. District 6 candidates are Seth Wiederanders, the incumbent, and Susan Hilsabeck.
Each candidate will respond to questions submitted by members of the public and will also make opening and closing statements.
LWVDC Candidate Forum Coordinator Dan Powers says the forums allow voters to hear directly from the candidates vying to represent them.
Powers says the LWVDC is also finalizing details for a candidate forum for Door County Board Supervisory Districts 9 and 10, which are also based in Sturgeon Bay. He says it will likely take place at Sturgeon Bay High School from 6:30 to 8 p.m.
Residents may submit questions to the LWVDC for inclusion in the forum. If you cannot attend, the forum will be recorded and uploaded to the organization’s YouTube channel.
