2023 - St. Joseph City Commission Candidate Forum

The Southwest Michigan Regional Chamber, in partnership with News/Talk/Sports WSJM, is pleased to invite you to a St. Joseph City Commission candidate forum on October 10th from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Shadowland Ballroom. Doors open at 5:30pm.

This non-partisan forum will be streamed live on-the-air (94.9 WSJM) and on-line (Facebook Live), then re-broadcast and made available for on-demand consumption. The general public is welcome to attend the event in-person and we are encouraging those interested to RSVP in advance through this Eventbrite page. There will also be an informal networking hour following the forum, from 7:30 to 8:00 p.m., where the public is invited to stay and interact with the candidates directly. The event will include light hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar option for those in attendance.

As the Voice for Business in Southwest Michigan, part of our chamber's organizational mission includes:

• Representing our members' interests in local, state, and federal government.
• Communicating where our elected leaders stand on matters important to our members and our community.

We seek to accomplish both of those goals in this forum through a series of thoughtful questions that will focus largely on commerce and community issues. We hope the candidates that participate will benefit from the increased visibility this provides, and that our community will benefit from an informed electorate this November.....

The Southwest Michigan Regional Chamber is a member-driven organization working to achieve economic prosperity throughout the region. As the Voice for Business in Michigan's Great Southwest, our mission is to leverage every available resource within our network for the advancement of our members and the betterment of all who live and work in our community.
