Auburn Chamber to Host Candidate Conversations Ahead of May Primary

The Auburn Chamber of Commerce will host three upcoming events giving constituents the opportunity to hear directly from candidates in contested races in Nemaha County, as well as those running for mayor of Auburn.
Auburn Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Leslie Clark said the goal is to create meaningful access between voters and candidates.
“We wanted to give folks a way to hear from and interact with candidates before the primary in May,” Clark said. “These events provide a chance to hear directly from them.”
Each event will feature a panel-style discussion at Auburn City Hall, 1101 J St. Candidates for Auburn mayor, Nemaha County attorney and Nemaha County commissioner for District 3 will participate in moderated conversations. Questions will be provided in advance, and each candidate will have time to respond. The events are free and open to the public.
Following each discussion, attendees are encouraged to stay for informal conversation with the candidates.
The events are scheduled as follows:
Wednesday, April 8 — Meet the County Attorney Candidates, 5:30–6:15 p.m.
Wednesday, April 8 — Meet the County Commissioner District 3 Candidates, 6:15–7:15 p.m.
Wednesday, April 15 — Meet the Mayoral Candidates for the City of Auburn, 5:30–6:30 p.m.
Clark said the chamber hopes to host another set of conversations ahead of the general election in November.
