How well do you know the candidates?
With the election for New Berlin mayor and the New Berlin School Board coming up April 7, voters are encouraged to see our candidates in person by attending a public forum, sponsored by the Rotary Club of New Berlin.
It is being held Saturday, March 14, at the New Berlin West High School library, 18695 W. Cleveland Ave.
Starting at 1 p.m. New Berlin Mayor Jack Chiovatero will be competing with his challenger, Alderman Ted Wysocki -- who wants to regain his position as mayor, which he lost to Chiovatero four years ago.
Then, at 2 p.m. the candidates for the New Berlin School Board will introduce themselves, and voice their opinions about various issues.
Competing for two positions on the school board are the top four winners of the six candidates who ran in the recent primary election. Listed in alphabetical order are Keith Hastings, Peggy LaSalle, Susan Manley and Paul Lincoln Scheuble.
Manley is a former school board member and Scheuble is a former District 4 alderman. He also ran for mayor in this primary election.
Voters will be provided index cards to write questions for the candidates. Ushers will collect these cards and hand them to Rotary President Tom Koller, who is serving as moderator.
Each candidate will be given a chance to reply to the questions at their session. The forum will end at 3 p.m.
The forum will be covered by John Schultz of New Berlin NOW, and it will be filmed to be viewed on the city Web site at www.newberlin.org/
