Gig Harbor Mayor Forum
Indivisible Gig Harbor – Mayoral Forum
Join us to meet the candidates running for Gig Harbor Mayor, incumbent Jill Guernsey and Kit Kuhn. The forum will include both candidate introductions and Q&A. It’s happening at the Gig Harbor Civic Center, October 15, 4-6 p.m. All are welcome.
We’ve all noticed, Gig Harbor and the surrounding unincorporated areas are growing, fast. The local candidates that get elected this year will have a profound effect on the course our community takes to manage this rapid growth.
Hosted by Indivisible Gig Harbor, a grassroots coalition of engaged citizens pursuing progressive action to transform the current political climate on local, state, and federal levels.
(Members: this Forum replaces our October General Meeting)
