Meet the men and women vying for Newcastle City Council spots at an October candidate forum.
The Newcastle Chamber of Commerce and the Newcastle Library are jointly hosting a moderated forum Oct. 7 at the Newcastle Library, 12901 Newcastle Way.
The event will feature questions submitted by Newcastle citizens. Candidates for Position Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 are expected to attend.
There are four Newcastle City Council seats with expiring terms, but only one race includes more than a single candidate.
Community Activities commissioners Linda Newing and Victoria Sandoval will compete to fill the seat being vacated by City Councilwoman Lisa Jensen.
Incumbents Gordon Bisset and Carol Simpson will each run unopposed to retain their seats. Planning Commissioner Allen Dauterman initially drew a challenger for Position No. 3, but Rob Lemmon withdrew.
The evening begins with light refreshments at 6:30 p.m., followed by the forum at 7 p.m. Submit candidate questions at www.kcls.org/NewcastleCandidates.
