Citrus Heights City Council candidate forum to be held Oct. 2

Sentinel Staff Report—
The Citrus Heights Sentinel will be hosting a candidate forum for all Citrus Heights City Council candidates on Wednesday, Oct. 2, from 6 to 7 p.m.

The City Council candidate forum will be held at City Hall, and will include four candidates running for election this year, including Councilmember and incumbent Tim Schaefer who is running for reelection for District 3, and Andrew Saunders, Amie Burgundy Brown and Kelsey Nelson, who are running for District 1.

Residents can submit topics or questions for consideration to The Sentinel through our contact form here.

Previously, former Mayor Bret Daniels who represented District 1, announced his resignation and moved out of state three months before the end of his term. According to Sacramento County and the City of Citrus Heights, Schaefer will still be listed on the ballot in November, despite running unopposed.

The city chose in 2019 to move from at-large elections to district-based elections. Residents who are not within District 3 or District 1 will not see any City Council candidates on their ballot in the upcoming Nov. 5 election.

City Hall is located at 6360 Fountain Square Drive, in Citrus Heights. The forum is free and open to the public to attend.

This event is not sponsored by the City of Citrus Heights and does not represent the views or endorsements of the city.
