It is time to choose among six candidates running for three La Conner Town Council seats. Get an up close and personal look at the candidates – the pairings are Ivan Carlson versus John Leaver, Rick Dole against Bill Stokes and Glen Johnson facing MaryLee Chamberlain – at the Skagit County League of Women Voters website: skagitlwv.org.
The forum, prerecorded Wednesday, Oct. 13 and available on the website starting today, was organized in a partnership between the League and the La Conner Weekly News. Susie Deyo, president of the La Conner School District Board of Directors, moderated the hour long Zoom presentation.
Between their opening and closing remarks, the candidates responded to questions submitted earlier by town residents and curated and finalized by Weekly News editor Ken Stern, Britt Wisniewsk and the League’s voter services committee.
La Conner residents – and everyone interested in the town’s elected government – can go on line now. The forum will be available through election night, Nov. 2.
Ballots were mailed Wednesday. They can be dropped off at the county ballot drop box at the La Conner library on Morris Street or mailed. They must be postmarked by Nov. 2. If mailed after Oct. 27, have your ballot envelope hand canceled to ensure it is counted.
Register to vote online through Oct. 25 or register at the Skagit County auditor’s office through the close of voting 8 p.m. Nov. 2.
