Candidate forum set March 27
If you vote in the odd number districts in New Berlin, this candidate forum is for you!
The Rotary Club of New Berlin is sponsoring its second annual candidate forum Saturday, Mar. 27, from 1 to 3 p.m.
It again will be held in the library at New Berlin West High School library, 18695 W. Cleveland Ave. The library is easily accessible when parking on the west side of the building, midway back near the rounded exterior.
The forum will feature the two aldermanic candidates from each of the districts. The time will be divided into 30-minute segments as follows:
District 1 -- from 1 to 1:30 p.m. -- for incumbent John W. Hopkins and challenger Dennis J. Fiedrich.
District 3 -- from 1:30 to 2 p.m. -- for incumbent Ronald Seidl and challenger David J. Jeske.
District 5 -- from 2 to 2:30 p.m.-- for candidates Jake Krueger and Deena Liska.
District 7 -- from 2:30 to 3 p.m. -- for incumbent David A. Ament and challenger Kevin W. Zokan.
Questions from the audience will be addressed to both candidates in rotating order so each will have the opportunity to be first to respond to a question. No personal attacks or comments will be allowed. Candidates will present opening and closing statements, each limited to three minutes.
Last year the Rotary Club presented a forum for the mayoral candidates and the New Berlin School Board. As chairperson, I appreciated the input of Kay Jashinsky, who had assisted Jeanne Crotty, the well-know moderator of New Berlin forums.
This year only three people are running for the three open positions on the School Boarsd, so there is no contest.
If you cannot attend the forum, you may watch the proceedings from your computer. Go to the Rotary Club Web site at www.rotaryclubofnewberlin.org, and click on the appropriate link at the left side of the page. Videos of the forum will be available online for a period of time afterward.
A video of the forum also can be viewed through New Berlin City Hall.
