The Rock County Star Herald will host a candidate forum at 2 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 20, in council chambers of Luverne City Hall.
At 2 p.m. candidates seeking election to the Ward 2 seat of Luverne City Council will answer questions pertaining to duties of that position.
Incumbent council member Kevin Aaker and challenger Mert Kracht are seeking election to that seat.
At 2:45 p.m. candidates for Minnesota House of Representatives will answer questions. Incumbent Joe Schomacker, R-Luverne, is facing challenger Pat Baustian, running on the DFL ticket for that seat in the House.
Prior to each forum, a coin flip will determine who answers the first question first, and after that they’ll alternate who goes first. Responses will be limited to two minutes with one-minute rebuttals if requested.
The forum will be livestreamed through the city of Luverne’s LuvTV where it will be archived for future viewing.
A link to the city’s LuvTV site https://www.cityofluverne.org/luvtv will be available through the Star Herald’s home page, www.star-herald.com where election coverage is compiled in a single location with links to previous information about local races so far in the 2022 election.
