College Station City Council candidates will be on campus Wednesday to talk with Texas A&M students about platforms for the upcoming election.
Student Government Association will have a Meet and Greet to make the candidates more accessible to students. SGA is doing this to encourage student participation in city elections and
government.
"These elections are extremely important to students because these positions directly affect our lives," said Student Senate External Affairs Chairwoman Michele Breaux. "The City Council votes on everything from red light cameras to zoning for new apartment complexes to bike paths. All of the candidates are extremely friendly and love talking to students about their ideas and concerns."
Early registration for the upcoming election has already begun. Election Day is May 9.
Meet the candidates
City Council candidates will be available anytime between 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. in the Memorial Student Center Complex. Depending on the weather, the event will be in Rudder Plaza or the hallway outside the entrance to the MSC Bookstore.
