District 4 candidate forum goes online
Tuesday, January 4, 2022 by Elizabeth Pagano
The city’s Ethics Review Commission and the League of Women Voters Austin Area will be hosting a virtual District 4 candidate forum on Jan. 6. Though there was some debate over where to hold the forum last month, the omicron variant appears to have settled the question by forcing the forum online. The candidates running for District 4, in ballot order, are Amanda Rios, Isa Boonto, Ramesses II Setepenre, Melinda Schiera, Jade Lovera, Monica Guzmán, and José “Chito” Vela. Questions for the candidates may be emailed to forum@lwvaustin.org or phoned in to 512-893-1960 in English by noon on Jan. 6. The forum will be broadcast live on ATXN.TV, Channel 6, A&T U-Verse channel 99, or KAZI FM 88.7. Residents may also listen in by phone by dialing 1-855-756-7520, ext. 78384# for English, 78385# for Spanish or 78390# for Vietnamese.
