Candidates in the upcoming Joplin City Council election will be featured in a live candidate forum program airing at 6 p.m. Monday, March 26, on KGCS-TV. The forum will be broadcast from the council chambers at Joplin City Hall.
Nine candidates are on the ballot for the April 3 election. Two are seeking the seat in Zone Four: Diane Reid Adams and Morris Glaze. One candidate is on the ballot for Zone One: Gary Shaw. The General Council race features six candidates seeking three seats: Joshua Bard, Harvey Hutchinson, Douglas Lawson, Anthony Monteleone, Ryan Stanley and Steve Urie.
Judy Stiles, general manager of KGCS at Missouri Southern State University and host of the “Newsmakers” interview program, will serve as host. Candidates will have an opportunity to address what they see as key issues facing the city.
“KGCS has a long history of covering city government, and this is another way we can help with communications with residents,” says Stiles.
In addition to airing live, the program will be rebroadcast at 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 27; 6 p.m. Thursday, March 29; and 7 p.m. Sunday, April 1. It will also be posted on the station’s YouTube channel.
KGCS operates as a service of the Department of Communication at Missouri Southern. Programming may be seen over the air on channel 22 and on regional cable television systems.
