Business West, along with Kansas City Kansas Community College, will co-sponsor a Candidates’ Forum starting at 7 p.m. Wednesday, July 18, in the Upper Jewell building at the Kansas City Kansas Community College 7250 State Ave.
Democratic candidates for District Judge who plan to attend are Mike Nichols, Tony Martinez and Jane Sieve Wilson.
Panelists who will ask the candidates questions will be Mary Rupert of the Wyandotte Daily Online, Jim Echols of Renaissance Management and Edgar Galicia of the Central Avenue Betterment Association.
Murrel Bland of Business West will be the moderator.
Thank you for sponsoring this forum. I hope that one of the questioners will ask the candidates to offer their views on the value or importance of having jury trial experience when seeking a position on the trial court. Thanks again.
