The next debate is Friday between Mike Claxton and Nic Aguirre for Longview City Council Position 5, currently held by MaryAlice Wallis.

Next week, Kelso City Council candidates Brian Wood and Eric McCradall face off Monday for Position 1, followed by Jackie Collins and incumbent Kimberly Lefebvre on Friday for Position 3.

The final debate is Monday, October 20, for Longview City Council Position 6 between Oliver Black and Chris Bryant. Bryant has so far declined to participate.
