WakeUP Wake County and the League of Women Voters of Wake County held a very successful forum on Sept 10 for candidates running for Raleigh City Council. Nine of the 13 candidates for City Council were in attendance: At-large candidates Lee Sartain and Russ Stephenson, District A candidate Nancy McFarlane, District B candidates Rodger Koopman and John Odom, District C candidate James West, District D candidates Thomas Crowder and Ted Van Dyk, and Distrcit E candidate Bonner Gaylord. Candidates answered questions from the moderator and the audience about growth, transit, water supply, land use, education, and funding mechanisms.
WakeUP would like to thank Ken Kaufher and Temple Beth Or for providing the wonderful venue, Eugene Brown of Plugged TV for taping the forum, Raleigh Television Network for airing the forum, and the League of Women Voters and the Raleigh Downtowner Magazine for co-sponsoring the event. Also, a big thank you to Marian Lewin for moderating, and to our volunteers for keeping things running smoothly!
RTN Channel 10 is airing the forum - click here for the viewing schedule. You can also watch it on our website here. You can see clips of the candidates remarks on MyNC and coverage from NewRaleigh, the News and Observer, and IndyWeek Blogs.
