AAUW will once again sponsor the Big Rapids City Commission Candidate Forum, which will be held Wednesday, September 24 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the City Commission room in City Hall and livestreamed for those who cannot attend in person. There are three candidates running for two seats. Two are the incumbents Karen Simmon and David Rhodes, and the third is Dan Kirwin, who was the contracted assessor for the city for two years. The mayor is also up for re-election this year and is running unopposed. Susan H. Grant has agreed to reprise her role as forum moderator, and Jennifer Cochran and Julie Alexander will compile questions for Susan to ask the candidates. Email Jennifer by Friday, September 6 if you have questions you would like the candidates to answer.
While we do encourage all members to attend, we are not considering this event to be a regular branch meeting or program since many of us do not live in the city limits. This is a great service for us to provide to the community, and it's a good publicity for our branch. Thank you very much to Julie, Susan, and Jennifer for agreeing to participate in organizing the event!
