County Candidate Forums to Take Place This Summer

By: The Pottawatomie County Economic Development Corporation (PCEDC) | 5.3.24

Did you know that Pottawatomie County is moving from three County Commissioner positions to five? This November, elections will take place in four of the five districts.

Review the current 3-Member District map.

Take a look at the new 5-member District map.

Partnering with local cities and chambers, we’ll be co-hosting a County Candidate Forum in every electing district this summer where all candidates are invited to share their vision for Pottawatomie County. The public is invited to any all all, regardless of the district.
