Monday night, very few members of the Hays community attended the 2013 spring candidate forum for the Hays City Commission and USD 489 School Board elections. The event was held in the basement of the FHSU Memorial Union in Cody Commons and broadcast live on Hays Post.

 The City Commission Candidates began the forum at 6:30 p.m.

At 7:45 p.m., candidates for the USD 489 School Board answered questions. Each candidate had the opportunity to give a brief opening statement. A total of six questions was asked and each candidate  had one minute to answer each question.

Dr. Joseph Romance, a political science professor at FHSU, moderated the forum. Several questions were taken from the audience for each portion of the forum.

The event was sponsored by FHSU American Democracy Project, Student Government Association, Hays Area Chamber of Commerce, and FHSU Department of Political Science.  If you missed the candidate forum, it will be replayed 0n Eagle Community Television Channel 14 or 614 this Saturday and Sunday at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. and again on Monday at 1 p.m. The election is April 2.
