If you like the idea of neighbors helping neighbors to learn about upcoming cnadidates and elections….Join KFNA’s Election Education Team!

Sign up here to indicate your interest in serving on a community team forming this Spring whose task will be to bring information on the various Candidates and Races to Our Community. Whether through debates, interviews, or written information, the job of this Team will be to help educate other neighbors about the people, the process, the charter amendments,  as well as the dates and details of this year’s election.

By filling out this form you are not committing to participating but rather expressing your interest. Residents will be contacted later this spring to discuss the races and next steps. If you have questions please contact Sarah Linnes-Robinson, KFNA Executive Director, at .
