On Thursday, three of the four candidates running for City Council in District 8 participated in a forum hosted by KUT and the Austin Monitor. You can watch the forum, which was hosted by KUT’s Jerry Quijano, below.

Joining Quijano were incumbent Paige Ellis and candidates Richard Smith and Kimberly P. Hawkins. Antonio D. Ross did not attend.

Early voting begins Monday, Oct. 24. Election Day is Nov. 8.

The Austin Monitor’s work is made possible by donations from the community. Though our reporting covers donors from time to time, we are careful to keep business and editorial efforts separate while maintaining transparency. A complete list of donors is available here, and our code of ethics is explained here.
