COLORADO SPRINGS — Starting today, KOAA News5 and The Gazette are teaming up to bring you live Zoom townhalls that will give you a chance to ask the 21 candidates for six City Council seats your questions and hear their answers.
Today we heard from District 1 candidates Glenn Carlson, Jim Mason, and Dave Donelson. The fourth candidate, Michael Seeger, was unable to attend. Learn more about the candidates by visiting our Election Watch page
The forums will be moderated by reporters Alasyn Zimmerman of KOAA and Mary Shinn of the Gazette. Viewers signed in and watching the forums can submit written questions while the candidates discuss the issues most important to Colorado Springs. You can sign in for any one of the forums at gazette.com/election.
