The Citizens for an Informed Electorate (CIE) To Host Candidate Forums

Three Nights: State, County, and City Forums

The Citizens for an Informed Electorate (CIE) will sponsor forums in order that the electorate may get to know candidates for the local offices of State Representative, Beltrami County Commissioner and County Attorney, and city offices of Bemidji Mayor and At-Large better prior to the November 4 General Election.

The forums will be televised live on First City cable TV Channel 2. All forums will be recorded and later be streamed on Northern Community Radio's website (KAXE/KBXE) and rebroadcast on First City TV and perhaps on Upstream TV. Moderators will be Maggie Montgomery, station manager for Northern Community Radio (KAXE/KBXE) and John Parsons, independent television producer and former reporter for Lakeland News.

The CIE formed in 2008, seeks to provide an outlet for the public to gain more knowledge about candidates in order to make an informed decision at the polls.

The CIE represents a cross section of citizens and media members who want to provide opportunities for the public to know their candidates and the issues. We include Michael Meuers, Michael Naylor, John Parsons, Dennis Montgomery, Maggie Montgomery, Pat Grimes, Rachelle Houle and Barb Meuers. Please plan on joining us, and share your views with the citizens.
