HANSVILLE — Candidates, homemade pie and coffee. That’s a candidate forum, Hansville style.
The community’s Meet the Candidates Night is Oct. 5, 6:30 p.m., at the Greater Hansville Community Center.
— Governor: A representative for Jay Inslee will participate.
— 6th District Congress: Bill Driscoll, Derek Kilmer.
— District 23 state Senate: Christine Rolfes.
— District 23 state representative, Position 1: Sherry Appleton, Tony Stephens.
— District 23 state representative, Position 2: Drew Hansen, Capt. James Olsen.
— Kitsap County Commissioner, District 1: Rob Gelder, Chris Tibbs.
— Kitsap County Commissioner, District 2: Charlotte Garrido, Linda Simpson.
Here’s how the forum will work. Catherine Ahl of the League of Women Voters will secure questions from attendees on index cards and give them to the moderator, Fred Nelson, to ask the candidates. Jo Nelson will time candidates’ responses, assuring everyone will have equal time to respond. Participants may not record the event.
The forum begins at 7 p.m. “We always serve homemade pie and coffee before the event [at 6:30 p.m.],” reports Lois Lee, the community center’s vice president of community affairs.
