by Thomas Dimopoulos Saratoga TODAY

SARATOGA SPRINGS —

The public is invited to submit questions for incumbent city Mayor Ron Kim and mayoral challenger Chris Mathiesen in advance of the city’s Democratic Party Primary, which will take place June 27, with Early Voting beginning June 17.

The “Meet The Candidates” event will take place virtually, from 7:30-8:30 p.m. on Monday, June

12. The event will be live streamed on Zoom webinar and hosted by the League of Women Voters of Saratoga County - a local chapter of the League of Women Voters of New York State and the national League of Women Voters, a nonpartisan organization whose stated mission is to encourage informed and active participation in government.

Questions: The public is encouraged to submit questions for the candidates by June 9, 2023, to QuestionsLWVSC@gmail.com with “Mayor” in the subject line.

Questions should be addressed to both candidates, represent a broad range of topics and not contain personal attacks.

The general election will take place in November for the twoyear mayoral term. The Saratoga Springs Republican Committee has endorsed John Safford as the GOP’s candidate for mayor.

In Saratoga Springs, there are just over 8,300 registered Democrats eligible to vote in the June 27 Primary. The city counts just over 5,800 registered Republicans, and 5,500 “blank” voters – or those registered to vote with no party affiliation, according to the Board of Elections.
