The Covington Business Council (CBC), in partnership with The Center for Great Neighborhoods of Covington, the Covington Neighborhood Collaborative and the Latonia Business Association, will host a Covington City Council Candidate Forum on Monday, September 28, from 6–8 p.m. at the Latonia American Legion Building, 3801 Winston Ave.
This partnership has often hosted public candidate forums, but this year marks the first time Covington candidates for office will participate as Council candidates and not Commission candidates, following the City’s transition from its long-standing City Manager form of government to a Mayor-Council system.
The event is free and open to the public and will provide Covington residents with an opportunity to learn more about the candidates, hear their perspectives on important issues facing the community, and better understand their priorities for the City’s future.
“We are pleased to partner with our friends at these important Covington agencies, as all four of our organizations play major roles in leading and supporting efforts at growing and improving our City,” said CBC Executive Director Pat Frew. “Each of us understands issues critical to achieving community vitality. How the candidates respond to and understand these needs can help identify who should be leading Covington for the next two years.”
Kenton County Reporter for LinkNKY, Nathan Granger, will moderate the panel discussion. The forum will be recorded and later aired by the Telecommunications Board of Northern Kentucky (TBNK).
The evening will begin with the 90-minute moderated forum followed by a 30-minute social time, giving members of the public an opportunity to meet and mingle with the candidates.
Residents are encouraged to attend, meet the candidates, and participate in this opportunity to learn more about the individuals seeking to serve on Covington City Council.
