The Pella Area Community and Economic Alliance and KNIA/KRLS partnered for a Pella city council candidate forum last night at Central College.

Incumbents Mark De Jong, Bruce Schiebout, and Dan Vander Beek, and challengers Lynn Branderhorst, Rhonda Kermode, and Dan Spotten all spoke about their views in regards to the business climate in Pella and their vision for growth over the next five years. PACE Alliance Executive Director Karen Eischen tells KNIA/KRLS News the discussion was important as the city looks to expand opportunities into the future.

She encourages everyone to educate themselves about the local candidates and vote on Tuesday, November 7th.
