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. 

KFSK’s Hannah Flor sat down with James Valentine to talk about why he’s running for the position. At 32, he’s the youngest of the candidates, and he says his biggest concern is that young people stay in Petersburg.

Listen here:

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

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.
