AAUW Petaluma is hosting two Candidate Forums on Monday September 30 at Petaluma City Hall. The first Fourm will begin at 6pm with the two candidates for Petaluma City School Board Area 4 followed at 7pm by the seven candidates for Petaluma City Council Districts 4, 5, and 6. Candidates will answer questions posed by a moderator to explain positions on Petaluma city and school issues.

The League of Women Voters is co-sponsoring the Forums which will be posted to the LWV YouTube Channel in October.

Read my blog for observations about what is going on at City hall
I have been involved in advocacy for issues and candidates for many years at city hall, and I have a lot of insights about the current workings of the city. To hear some of those observations, check out my blog “The Kuehne Observer” (my last name is pronounced “Keen”).
I also encourage you to subscribe to my e-mail list which will include these blog posts, as well as any current city-related events in regular e-mail updates.
I am endorsing this campaign to preserve our historic district in downtown Petaluma. It is a jewel and unique and we are facing a grave danger of losing it by allowing a 6+ story hotel that is not at all appropriate for the location plus the zoning overlay that will make this possible.
