Collingswood Press to Host Candidate Debate April 30

In the interests of helping inform the public and encourage voter turnout for the May 2013 Collingswood borough commissioners election, representatives from Collingswood Patch, The Retrospect, and What’s On Collingswood have partnered to host a candidate debate April 30.

The public forum will run from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Scottish Rite Ballroom. Admission is free. The Borough of Collingswood has agreed to provide use of the facility at no cost.

For Collingswood residents, the event will provide an opportunity to submit questions on the issues that will determine their votes and have them answered by candidates who will appear on the ballot for borough commissioner.

It also will offer candidates the chance to provide thoughtful and relevant discussion on their platforms and positions and to interact with the public in a meaningful way.

This nonpartisan event will be hosted and moderated by representatives from all three media outlets. No representatives of any political parties, political action committees, or grassroots community organizations will have any involvement in the organization or conduct of the event.

Stay tuned for more details as they become available.

We hope to see you there!
