10/23/2017

(KAIR)--An opportunity to hear from the candidates.

That's the reason behind a forum being held in Atchison Monday evening.

Arranged by the Atchison Leadership Development Council, in conjunction with the Atchison Area Chamber of Commerce, the forum will begin at 6:00, and is being held in the USD 409 meeting room, located at 626 Commercial Street, in Atchison.

According to Chamber of Commerce President Jacque Pregont, the forum will be moderated by Steve Johnson, the Director of Marketing and Communications at Benedictine College.

The questions were submitted in advance by local media, including MSC News, as well as members of the public.

The seven candidates, seeking three open seats on the Atchison City Commission, will field those questions, as posed by Johnson.

The candidates include incumbents Dr. Allen Reavis, David Hausmann, and Larry Purcell, as well as Mike Hein, Shawn Rizza, George Ross, Jr., and Floyd “Jay” Robinson.

The City Commission is the only contested race in the City of Atchison to be decided by voters on November 7.

The forum is planned to be broadcast live on local cable access channel 17 as well as Facebook Live.

Rebroadcasts are also planned on channel 17.
