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 an open contest for four seats on the Johnson County Community College Board of Trustees. Check out the full list of candidates across Johnson County here.
The Post is hosting forums in a dozen communities this fall, and we need your help.
If you attend, work at or just care about JCCC, here’s how you can assist us.
Come to our JCCC board forum on Sept. 17
We have invited all candidates vying for four seats on the JCCC board. There are eight candidates, and the top four vote-getters will win seats on the board.
The forum will be Sept. 17 at Central Resource Library, 9875 W. 87th Steet, in Overland Park.
The forum begins at 6 p.m. and is expected to last approximately an hour and a half.
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.
Send us a question we can ask JCCC candidates
We also need to hear from you. Oftentimes, residents know their communities’ and institutions’ big issues much better than we do.
If you work or attend JCCC, you will have more insight into what the hot topics are.
What issues and priorities do you want candidates for the JCCC board talking about ahead of November?
What questions do you want them to answer on the record?
