LIMA — Lima/Allen County Neighborhoods in Partnership will host a public Lima mayoral candidate forum from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 12 in the fellowship hall of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, 209 W. North St., Lima.
Moderated by Matthew Kinkley, Director of the Workforce Development Board of Auglaize, Hardin, Mercer and Van Wert Counties, the forum will feature both incumbent Mayor David Berger and challenger Keith Cheney.
Lima residents will have an opportunity to submit written questions to the candidates. While the forum will emphasize neighborhood concerns, all issues will be open to discussion.

A 'Vote Here' sign was set up Tuesday morning during the first day of early voting outside of the Allen County Board of Elections. Jay Sowers / Photographer
