City Council Candidates' Forum - Monday, April 6

[iwasthere]

the blvd pk bw meet and greet the sixth ward candidates was April 7th, 2015. all candidates showed up and stayed until the place of the debate was locked-up for the nite. all the candidates took questions from the audience and they debated with each other on each other responses without and restrictions. they had three minutes for their introductions after the time restrictions were not enforced due to it is a debate that allowed candidates to have their message to the audience, clear and concise. the general election debate will allow the candidates to bring homemade signs that are made by their supporters that will have an atmosphere of a small convention. at last nite meet and greet the candidates gave each other respect by referring to them about how they would deal with the situation that was asked to all questions. papers and pens were provided for inds that were shy asking questions. the host gave both options to the attending participants for this meet and greet. at the end of the meeting the host bought out fresh hot piping coffee with homemade assorted cookies that were made by Jamie from the santa fe restaurant. the host received a twenty minute standing ovation for the beautifully meet and greet political candidates nite in which the host downplayed its part of last nite monthly bw meeting.

I know one person that will put a sign in their yd for a candidate that attended new bethal mobilization political forum because the candidate showed up for this debate. this person does not live in the ward in which the sign will be placed in during the primary season.(A VERY GOOD PRIME SPOT)

[PD]

On the news this looked poorly attended
The YWBC and community mobilization committee have lost their steam
1 candidate from the 7th showed up
2 from the 5th

[PD]

So I saw there was a sixth Ward meet and greet tonight boulevard park the same time as this forum
Which one do they choose?

[iwasthere]

a candidate(s) should never disreguard an invite to any political forum that is not in their area. you never know who is in the audience that is a potential supporter through a vote or a monetary gift.

   You are 100,000,000% right PD, it doesn't make any sence for candidates to campaign in areas where they can't get votes. 
The various ward groups should,and no doubt will arrange for candidate forums in their wards where they have a better chance of getting their concerns voiced.
The 4th nor 5th Ward candidate can address with any degree of authority issues concerning the people of the 7th Ward. 

[PD]

This one will be poorly attended.
Heard 90% of the 5th ward candidates won't be there
Most areas are doing their own forums which is smart
