It’s forum season

Voters will get the chance to take a close look at the City Council candidates in a series of upcoming forums hosted by the city, the Ethics Review Commission and the Austin League of Women Voters. Each forum will focus on a single district, starting tonight with a District 4 forum at 6 p.m. at Gus Garcia Recreation Center, 1201 E. Rundberg Lane. The full forum schedule is available here. For those who can’t make it to the events, video statements from candidates will be available to view online, along with the candidates’ answers to questions posed by the Austin League of Women Voters. Don’t forget that the Austin Monitor, KUT and Glasshouse Policy are hosting a series of open mic debates for Council candidates in each district, as well.
