The City Club of Eugene will present programs in April highlighting the contested council races, starting with Ward 1.

Ward 1 in Eugene covers Downtown, running from 7th to 28th Avenue and from High Street west beyond Chambers. Incumbent first-term councilor Emily Semple is being challenged by five candidates.

City Club President Eric Richardson will moderate this program. Watch live at 12 p.m. on Friday on the Eugene City Club Facebook page. The video will also be available after that on YouTube, and aired on KLCC at 7 p.m. on Monday, April 6.

Learn more about the candidates - Sean Dwyer, Eliza Kashinsky, Candice King, Daniel Liev Williams, Tim Morris, and Emily Semple - at the City Club’s website.
