Candidate Night
Candidate Night was hosted by the League of Women Voters to educate Lafayette residents about the upcoming election and candidates. The evening was a great opportunity for residents to ask questions of the candidates and get a sense of what we stand for. I'll be posting some excerpts here and on my website soon.
Each candidate was granted two minutes to introduce themselves and a two-minute closing. In between, each candidate had 1.5 minutes to answer the question posed by the residents in attendance. I still have some research to complete on the affordable housing question that was asked of the candidates. While I'm reasonably familiar with the programs, I definitely need to find out more to answer the question of whether Lafayette has adequate affordable housing. Please check back and I'll post a response to that question.
I want to thank everyone who took the time to attend and to watch on TV or online. The entire evening's broadcast is available at the link below. Just click on the October 15th meeting video under the City Council heading.
