City Council Candidate Forum
A public forum for the eight candidates for the open at-large seat on the Minnetonka City Council will be held on Wednesday, January 25, at 7 pm at Minnetonka City Hall, 14600 Minnetonka Blvd. The free forum is sponsored by the League of Women Voters (LWV) of Minnetonka, Eden Prairie, and Hopkins.
Candidates are Patty Acomb, Joe Bodell, Bonnie Burton, John Knight, Peggy Kvam, Thom Lien, Joel Olson, and David Webb. They are running for at-large Seat B on the council, a four-year term, which was vacated by former council member Amber Greves, who resigned in December. The election date is Tuesday, February 14.
The LWV sponsors nonpartisan forums in an effort to educate the public about campaign issues, provide an opportunity for voters to hear candidates discuss these issues face-to-face, and stimulate public interest in the election process. Voters are invited to attend the forum and submit written questions to the candidates.
