Leander Forum scheduled for June 13th runoff election
Via the HCN, Leander candidate forum set for May 26.
It’s debate time. The candidate forum for the four runoff elections for the city council races in Leander will be on May 26 at 7 p.m. at Pat Bryson Hall. A little different than past forums, candidates will have the opportunity to respond to their opponent’s comments. And with an added twist, the moderator will have the opportunity to ask follow-up questions.
Although there are four races, it ultimately comes down to an election between two separate groups. Early in the election, incumbent mayor John Cowman endorsed Andrea Navarrette (Place 1), Michell Cantwell (Place 4) and Dave Siebold (Place 6). The other group consists of Iris Davis (Mayor), Mark Kronkosky (Place 1), Cathy Broun (Place 4) and Josh Payne (Place 6). Both groups have acknowledged there is a large divide between the two groups.
Election day is June 13th, and early voting will be from June 1st - 9th.
