Corvallis City Council Debates: Here’s What the Candidates Said, Wards 3 and 7

This year’s Corvallis City Council election is unusually active – there are 17 candidates running for nine seats, and six of those seats are contested among 14 candidates. The crowded field issues from a number of factors – four incumbents have declined to seek reelection, there’s a slate of five candidates running on what they’re calling the Grassroots Slate, and another two candidates have also joined the fray.

A series of debates

We at The Advocate have teamed with City Club of Corvallis to host debates for each of the six City Council Wards that are contested. We’ll be hosting two weekly, and posting them on our website, and on our YouTube channel, and below, you’ll find the first installments in the series. We plan to publish our endorsements on Friday, October 25.
