Petersburg’s Borough Assembly has two open seats in next month’s municipal election. Five people are running, and KFSK has aired conversations with each of the candidates. 

Marc Martinsen was on the Petersburg City Council in the late 90s and early 2000s. He’s run for borough assembly several times since. KFSK’s Hannah Flor sat down with him to talk about why he’s running for the position. He says it’s partly because there are some topics that Petersburg’s Borough Assembly isn’t discussing enough.

Listen here:

The other candidates for assembly are Thomas Fine-Walsh, Tony Vinson, James Valentine, and Bob Lynn.

Petersburg’s municipal election is Tuesday, October 1st. Early voting is available weekdays starting Wednesday, September 11th, from 11 a.m. until 3 a.m. downstairs at the municipal building.
