Candidate Forum / WECA October General Membership Mtg: Thurs, Oct 15 at 7pm

WECA Neighbors – It’s that time of year! Fall has arrived, the latest WECA newsletter is landing on your doorstep, and the City of Rockville elections for Mayor and City Council are just around the corner.

 

We are hosting a special event – a Candidate Forum -- for our WECA General Membership Meeting being held on Thursday, October 15^th at 7pm at the Rockville Presbyterian Church (215 West Montgomery Ave), and all are encourage to attend.  There are 11 candidates this year (2 for Mayor, and 9 vying for the four Councilmember seats) and we have confirmed that at least 10 of them – and hopefully we will soon be able to confirm the final candidate – will be participating.

 

Our City elections are always important, but this year brings a new and significant change, as the term of office for each individual will now be four years (rather than two years).

 

You can learn much more about these candidates by attending our October 15^th meeting, and hearing their views on the issues, watching them debate hot topics, and posing questions of importance to you. But if you can’t attend this meeting – or want to get a “sneak peek” – there are videos of all the candidates, describing their platform and explaining why they are asking for your vote, airing frequently on Rockville Channel 11. For more information, visit the City of Rockville website here: http://www.rockvillemd.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1016

 

Following ours, two additional debates will also be held which are either live broadcast or recorded. They are on October 22^nd at 7pm (at F. Scott Fitzgerald Theatre, 603 Edmonston Drive – live broadcast) and October 27^th (at King Farm Community Center, 300 Saddle Ridge Circle – recorded broadcast airing on October 29^th at 7pm). Again, more information is available here: http://www.rockvillemd.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=1016

 

Remember, Election Day is Tuesday, November 3^rd and polls are open from 7am – 8pm. All the detail you need on voting locations, early voting, and everything else can be found here: http://www.rockvillemd.gov/index.aspx?NID=415 

 

We hope that you can join your neighbors for this important forum with the future leaders of Rockville City government! Again, the meeting is on Thursday, October 15^th starting promptly at 7pm at the Rockville Presbyterian Church, located at 215 West Montgomery Avenue. Parking is available in the lot behind the church, accessible from Harrison Street.
