Flint, MI–The Flint City Council Candidate Forum for Flint’s seventh ward is now live.

You can see what the candidates have to say about their community here.

All candidates were asked the same questions about how they would serve the city–from addressing crime and blight to how they would balance the budget.

You can check out candidate forums from wards 1-6 at our elections page here.
