2015 Candidate Forum
»
2015 Candidate Forum - On Tuesday, April 14, the League of Women Voters of Richardson sponsored a Candidate Forum for the Richardson City Council.
The Candidate Forum was held in the Grand Hall of the Richardson Civic Center, 411 W. Arapaho Road, beginning at 7:00 p.m.
Candidates for all seven places on the ballot were invited to this forum.
Only candidates in contested races (Places 1 and 4) were asked to participate in the question-and-answer portion of the forum.
All uncontested candidates with the exception of Mayor Laura Maczka agreed to participate.
All candidates who are present will give a two-minute closing statement.
Place 1
Both candidates for Place 1 (Bob Townsend and Rick Wilder, listed in ballot order) agreed to participate.
Place 4
The candidates for Place 4 are Claudia Tatum and Mabel Simpson. Ms. Simpson agreed to participate in the forum, but Ms. Tatum declined.
It is a longstanding policy of the League of Women Voters that at least two candidates for a given office must be present to proceed with a forum for that office. Therefore, since Ms. Tatum did not agree to participate, Place 4 was not included in the question-and-answer portion of the forum.
