City of Platteville residents will have an opportunity to meet Common Council and school board candidates at the same event.

Wisconsin Education Association Council Region 6 will host a candidate forum for the two candidates for the Common Council at-large seat held by retiring Ald. Dick Bonin, as well as the six School Board candidates, in the Wisconsin Bank & Trust Community Room, 10 Keystone Parkway, Tuesday, March 31 from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

The format will be similar to the format WEAC hosted before the School Board primary Feb. 17.

Tom Nall and Angie Donovan are running for Bonin’s at-large seat. Incumbents Steve Obershaw and Eric Fatzinger are opposed by challengers Colleen McCabe, Matt Zielinski, Curt Timlin and Jamie Brogley for three three-year seats.
