Members of the media will include Pascale Fusshoeller of YubaNet, Paul Haas of KNCO, Paul Emery of KVMR, Cole Pettit of Nevada County Media and Brian Hamilton from The Union.
The discussion will include a brief introduction, followed by two-minute opening statements from each candidate, then questions from the media and those submitted by the public. Candidates will have one minute to answer each of the questions.
Closing statements will be limited to 3 minutes, followed by closing comments from Hamilton.
The event will be livestreamed by Nevada County Media — www.nevadacountymedia.org — at 6 p.m. Monday, as well as broadcast by KVMR 89.5 FM radio.
