It’s an off-year election, meaning no state or federal contests are on the ballot this Nov. 4.
All the attention will be on local races — including three contested races for Fairway City Council and an open contest for three at-large Westwood City Council seats. Check out the full list of candidates here.
The Post is hosting forums in a dozen communities this fall, and we need your help.
If you live in Fairway or Westwood, here’s how you can assist us.
Come to our Fairway/Westwood forum on Sept. 10
The Post has invited all candidates in the three Fairway city council races that are contested and the at-large contest in Westwood to our forum.
It will be Sept. 10 at Westwood View Elementary, 4935 Belinder Ave., in Westwood.
Fairway candidates will be on stage at 6 p.m., and Westwood candidates will start at 7 p.m.
These events work best when voters show up and ask questions and participate in the democratic process.
Tell us you plan to come at our Facebook page. You can also tell us by emailing us directly at stories@johnsoncountypost.com.
It’s not required, but it does let us anticipate how many people to expect.
