WHO’S running for the council at the upcoming elections in September? Eyeball the contenders in the flesh at the Candidates’ Forum at North Richmond Panthers on Thursday, September 1.
After Hawkesbury Chamber of Commerce and North Richmond and Districts Community Action Association found they’d independently scheduled a candidates’ forum for the same night, they did the sensible thing and joined forces for an independent event.
NRDCAA president Beatriz Insausti said already all the group tickets had said representatives will attend, except for Jill Reardon who will be out of the district on the night, and two ungrouped candidates.
Richmond’s David Bowles, a Richmond RSL Sub-branch member and former RAAF officer, will be the moderator.
“Six questions will be sent out to all the candidates and we will ask for written replies before the night,” Ms Insausti said. “There’ll be intros, then we’ll ask the candidates to expand on the answers they give to the six questions. Most of the night will be questions from the floor.”
There will be two Facebook live streams of the forum, which starts at 7pm.
