Candidates forum taking place Wednesday

RED OAK — The Red Oak Express and KCSI are sponsoring a candidate’s forum Wednesday night.

The event starts at 6 p.m. at the Wilson Performing Arts Center.
Red Oak Express Editor and General Manager Gregory Orear along with KCSI owner/announcer Jerry Dietz will ask questions of Red Oak City Council and Mayor candidates. Each candidate will be asked the same questions and alloted the same amount of time to respond. Candidates will not be presented the questions before the forum.

Candidates will also be allowed to make an opening statement.
If time allows, members of the audience will also be allowed to ask questions of the candidates.

While all of the candidates have been contacted, some have not confirmed they will be participating.

“We are hopeful all of the candidates will attend and participate, as there is going to be a lot of public interest in this election with the number of people running,” Orear said.
