League of Women Voters candidate forum Wednesday

Spring candidate forum set for Wednesday evening.

Perhaps as a nod to the realities on the ground (it has been years since there was a viable Republican candidate, meaning the winner of Plainfield's Democratic June Primary is almost inevitably the winner in November), the Plainfield League of Women Voters is sponsoring a Spring candidate forum this Wednesday (May 30), from 6:30 to 8:30 PM at the Emerson Community School.

Each of the two Council seats that are up this year is being contested.

In the Wards 2/3 at-large contest, Democratic incumbent Joylette Mills-Ransome is being challenged by Board of Ed member Cameron Cox, who is running as an independent Democrat.

If the Frist Ward conest, incumbent Diane Toliver is running as an independent Democrat (she did not seek the Democratic Committee's nominaton) and is facing lifelong Plainfielder and newcomer to public service Ashley Davis.

Both Davis and Mills-Ransome have the endorsement of the Plainfield Democratic City Committee, Chairman Adrian O.. Mapp and Councilors Barry Goode, Steve Hockaday, Charles McRae, Cory Storch and Rebecca Williams.

You can read biographical information on the candidates and their answers to the League questionnaire on the LWV website here.

Emerson Community School is at East 3rd Street and Emerson Avenue. Parking in the school lot and on the street (mind not to block neighbors' driveways).
