On Monday, Feb. 21, Donnelly College hosted an open forum for the candidates running to be the next 4th District Wyandotte County Commissioner. Candidates discussed everything from their personal backgrounds to economic development to public transportation.
The five candidates include Clayton Hunter, Derek Jones, Karlean Kramer, Tarence Maddox and Tamika Pledger.
The forum was sponsored by two Donnelly baccalaureate classes – PS111 American Government and PS101 Principles of Political Science – as part of the College’s service-learning initiative. Students in these classes were charged with creating a service-learning project for the spring semester, and chose to hold this forum and voter registration drives as a service to their community.
