Redmond City Television (RCTV) channels 21 (Comcast) and 34 (Frontier FIOS) recently taped the Redmond city candidates forum, which was sponsored by the Greater Redmond Chamber of Commerce and held Sept. 21 at Matt’s Rotisserie Restaurant.

The event was part of the chamber’s monthly membership luncheon series.

Incumbents and challengers for City Council and mayoral seats participated. Topics included strategies on increasing activity in downtown, positions related to various transportation issues and candidates’ priorities should they be elected.

“We’re very happy to work with the chamber to share this event,” said Patrick Hirsch, video communications manager for the City of Redmond. “This program allows voters to learn more about the candidates participating in this very busy election season.”

Chamber President Tom Martin moderated the one-hour event. Replays of the event will begin at 9 p.m., tonight and run through the election on Tuesday, Nov. 8. The program is also available on demand 24/7 at the city’s website, www.redmond.gov. Schedules for RCTV playback can also be viewed online.
