VIDEO SERIES: Council candidates forum, District 7 (South Kona)

September 5, 2010 South Kona No Comments

September 5, 2010 – Kona, Hawaii

Video by David Corrigan

District 7 incumbent Brenda Ford meets challenger Enock Freire in a special candidates forum held on Thursday, September 2nd.

Una Greenway moderated the event, which also included candidates running for District 6 and District 8 council seats.

The forum was held at Kona Marshalling Yard in Keauhou Mauka, and was hosted by the Kona County Farm Bureau. Therefore, many of the questions posed to the candidates related to coffee and agriculture.

The extended videos found on this page have been edited to present only the answers from the District 7 candidates. Videos featuring the other district candidates will be forthcoming, and will be found on separate pages. It should be noted that, of the four microphones available to candidates at the forum table, the one in front of Ford and Freire produced a strange echo that persisted through-out the forum.
