MOSES LAKE — Candidates running for public office in Moses Lake will be gathering at the Moses Lake Civic Center Wednesday night to present their viewpoints and participate in a candidates forum.

The free forum is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. in the civic center, 411 S. Balsam St. Moderated by Alan Heroux, the event is designed to be a forum, as opposed to a classic political debate where the candidates face off on a number of different topics and issues.

Moses Lake City Council Position No. 1: Dean Hankins and Michael Riggs.
