Workshops scheduled for city council election season

For those interested in running for city council, an informational workshop will be noon April 28 and 5 p.m. April 29 in the Moses Lake City Council Chambers at 401 S. Balsam St.

The opportunity to run for the office of city council only occurs during odd numbered election years. In 2021, positions 1, 2, 4 and 5 will be on the general election ballot in November.

Each position has a four-year term, starting January 1, 2022 and ending December 31, 2025.

Led by City Manager Allison Williams, the workshops will provide information on the role and commitments to serve on the city council, as well as required filing criteria for candidates from the Grant County Elections Office.
