“Public safety, housing supply, water rates, and property taxes all fall to our City Council members. Their decisions have major impacts on residents and our Billings businesses,” said Jack Jennaway, business advocacy coordinator. “As a champion for business and quality of life, the Billings Chamber is excited to give the public an opportunity to meet candidates face to face.”

Each Coffee with Candidates forum will feature a moderated question and answer segment with time reserved for questions from the audience. This is the first in a series of open forums that will be held from August through September, ahead of City Council elections.

Both the primary and general elections will feature all-mail voting and polling places will not be open. Primary election ballots will be mailed on August 23 with general election ballots following on October 18. Ward 1 will be the only ward on the primary election ballot since there are three candidates. 

Each Coffee with Candidates forum is free to attend and open to anyone interested in meeting the City Council candidates running this election cycle. Billings Association of Realtors is located at 2021 Overland Avenue. Residents can find out which ward they live in here and who is running from their ward here. RSVP’s are requested for planning purposes as complimentary coffee and light breakfast items will be available. Register at BillingsChamber.com.
