Hometown Helena this Thursday, October 9: City Candidates

October 7th, 2025


Dear Hometown Helena friends,


We’re pleased to welcome this week’s presenters, Helena’s local election candidates! This session will be more of an introduction than a debate, giving each candidate a few minutes to share who they are, why they’re running, and their vision for our community. We’ll do our best to keep things on schedule so everyone has a fair opportunity to speak.


For those who’d like to learn more, there will be an additional candidate forum this evening at Ten Mile Creek Brewery at 5:30 p.m. You can also watch last week’s League of Women Voters forum on Helena Civic Television.


We also want to remind you that ballots will be arriving in just a few weeks—so stay engaged, learn about the candidates, and help shape Helena’s future through your vote.


And don’t forget, Hometown Helena always welcomes friends and newcomers. Bring someone along who might like to introduce themselves or make a brief announcement.


See you Thursday morning!


Warm regards,

The Hometown Helena Team
