Salem City Council Candidates DebateJoin us for our Forum Speaker Series Luncheon on April 13, as we welcome the eight candidates running for Salem City Council seats (in Wards 2, 4, 6, and 8) in the May 2026 Primary Election. This will be your best opportunity to hear from all the candidates directly, as we learn more about them and how they would lead Salem forward, before we prepare to vote on these key elected positions in our community.
To make this luncheon event more accessible for the community, we are offering a special non-member ticket price to match the member price and an option to attend without adding lunch.

Ward 4:

Ward: 6
