The Mitchell Area Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee presents a Candidate Forum for those running in the upcoming local election for Mitchell Mayor, City Council and School Board. The forum will be held on Tuesday, May 18 at the Corn Palace beginning at 6:30 p.m. The forum will begin with City Council, followed by Mayoral and ending with School Board.
A candidate forum is a public event where candidates running for office are given the opportunity to express their positions on issues. All candidates for each race have been invited to participate.
Forums are open and free for the public to attend. The forum will also be live streamed. A link to live stream the event is available on the Mitchell Area Chamber of Commerce website, www.mitchellsd.com.
Representatives from local media entities have been invited to pose questions to the candidates. Individuals from the public who choose to attend will be able to submit questions to the media representatives by writing them down. Media representatives will then have final selection of which questions to ask during the forum.
