Kent Reporter sponsors Council, mayor debates
Oct 07 2009
If you’re wondering who to choose on the November general election ballot, when it comes to Kent’s top elected officials, make tracks to the Kent Senior Activity Center Oct. 19.
That’s where the candidates for three major local races will be sharing their views, and answering questions. The Kent Reporter-sponsored debate will include the candidates for the following races:
Mayor: Incumbent Suzette Cooke, and local businessman and Kent School Board President Jim Berrios.
Council Position 4: Dennis Higgins and Dana Ralph.
Council Position 6, incumbent Elizabeth Albertson and Geoff Koepp.
The event gets under way at 7 p.m. and will be hosted by a local moderator.
There also will be an opportunity for public questions , although these will be written and go through the moderator.
For more information about the event, contact Kent Reporter Editor Laura Pierce at lpierce@kentreporter.com, or by calling her at 253-872-6600, ext. 5050.
