A Candidates forum was held at Hastings City Hall on Thursday night with those in the State Representative, Hastings City Council and Hastings Mayor race. Dakota County commissioner Mike Slavik, who is running unapposed, was also offered a chance to be heard.
The forum continued with the State Representatives Tony Jurgens and Tina Folch responding to questions about their viewpoints on healthcare, tax conformity and state versus control with the preemption bill. Next were the 3 candidates for Hastings City council. Incumbants Lori Braucks and Mark Vaughan and challenger Tom Cherney.
