Whether or not you know who you will vote for in this year’s City Council election, I encourage you to attend one or more of the ongoing Zoom candidate forums. Read the candidates’ positions in the papers and on their campaign sites, but also do yourself the favor of seeing them “in person” where their depth of knowledge, passion, communication styles and understanding of the issues facing Durango, really shine through.
That these seven candidates are each willing to dedicate themselves and their time to the often thankless role of public service says a lot about them and their commitment to our community already. You can thank them by listening to what they each have to offer and making an informed voting decision on April 6.
When you have decided, please hold your chosen candidates accountable to hearing and acknowledging the representative voices and issues presented by the others. They all deserve a place at the table. Check newspapers and campaign websites for dates, times and links.
