The event will be hosted by the City of Kent’s Cultural Communities Board. Each candidate will provide brief introductory remarks and answer questions written by Cultural Community Board members.<\/p>\n

The following candidates plan to attend:<\/p>\n

• Incumbent Marli Larimer and challenger Todd Minor for Position No. 1.<\/p>\n

• Awale Farah and Zandria Michaud for Position No. 7<\/p>\n

Les Thomas, who is seeking re-election to Position No. 3, told forum organizers he could not make the event because of a conflict that evening as a member of the Puget Sound Regional Fire Authority Board, said Sara Franklin, vice chair of the Cultural Communities Board.<\/p>\n
