Event Description
League of Women Voters & Red Wing Chamber Host Meet the Candidates—July 26—6PM-7:30PM—Red Wing Public Library Foot Room
The LWV - Red Wing and the Red Wing Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a “Meet the Candidates” evening. Instead of formal speeches and moderated questions and answers, the LWV will be using a new format with the candidates rotating among small groups to allow voters to make a more direct connection with candidates. “With so many candidates and such a short time period before the primaries, this event is a valuable opportunity for people to hear from the candidates and ask their questions. We hope this format will help voters gather the information needed to elect the right person to represent them” said League co-chair Lisa Bayley. You will also be able to register to vote or check your voter registration before and after the event.
Fourteen candidates have filed to run. All 14 candidates have been invited to attend and we expect almost all to be present to meet the voters. The city council election is non-partisan, meaning candidates are not affiliated with a political party.
