The City’s West End neighborhoods will be the focus of a political forum on Oct. 14 to hear state legislative candidates vying to represent area legislative districts. Co-sponsors of the “West End Political Forum,” the Rosedale Neighborhood Association and the Central West End Association, have invited six candidates contesting four House of Representatives districts and the one candidate running for the state Senate.
The event will be held at New City School, 7:30 p.m. Karleen O. Hoerr, president of Rosedale, said that “none of the state representative’ candidates has served the neighborhoods from the Central West End to the City Limits. Prior to redistricting, the west end corridor was represented by Rep. Steve Vossmeyer, who did not run for re-election. “Now, however, this area has been split into four state representative districts while it continues to be within one senate district.
Because of our community interests, we have arranged this opportunity for our residents to meet and hear from all the candidates for the General Assembly,” she said. Candidates invited include: Senate —4th District: Sen. John Bass (D) —unopposed House-56th District: Rep. Fred Williams (D)—unopposed House-57th District: Elouise Miller (R) and O.L. Shelton (D) House —59th District: Rep. Nathaniel (“Nat”) Rivers (D)—unopposed House-64th District: Rep. Russ Egan (D) and Richard C. Wilson (R) The candidates have been asked to address the issues of neighborhood improvement, taxes and revenue, education, and crime, as well as to present their priorities for the next session of the General Assembly.
The “West End Political Forum” will be held in the gym of the New City School, Lake and Waterman.
The public is welcome. Refreshments will be available.
