(BIVN) – The North Hilo Community Council organizes a forum, featuring the four candidates running for the Big Island’s only District 2 seat held by incumbent, Herbert Watanabe.

The other candidates are Bill Sanborn, Paul Bryant, and Pat Walsh.

Questions to the candidates are centered on the issues important to parents, teachers, and students. Comments and ideas are shared on such varied topics as the state DOE, school community councils, and bullying.

The forum lasted over two hours, but the video has been divided into smaller clips and organized by subject, so users can go right to the topics important to them. Like the mayoral candidate forums seen here in the recent past, this special video section is not without editing, but it is important to know that candidate answers are presented in their entirety.
