Read what the candidates said about every issue covered, and what they asked each other.
Incumbent Lea Markowski has held the seat for one year since it became vacant when Steve Gawron became the mayor last summer. The other seat is vacant, as Sue Weirengo declined to run again.
Wednesday’s event, put on by the Neighborhood Associations of Muskegon, will be followed up by a second “meet the candidates” style event on July 22 at 6:30 p.m. at Muskegon Community College.
Just a few weeks after current mayor Steve Gawron announced he would seek another term as mayor, two candidates publicly announced their candidacies within 24 hours of each other.
After the down vote, the city commission voted 4-1 to send out a request for proposals for private companies to provide a comparable service to city residents after the current city program funding expires. Commissioner Willie German voted against this measure.
The contests that received the greatest candidate attendance and debate were 14th circuit court judge, county clerk and the county commission seat for district 6. Sheriff and prosecutor contests each had a pair of candidates in attendance.
