Our July 15 meeting will be about our local elections. There is no election in Royal Oak Township this year. There are also no primary elections in any of our 3 cities. We will be hearing from the candidates running for re-election to the Huntington Woods City Commission, Joe Rozell and Jules Olsman, who are currently running unopposed. The filing deadline is July 20. For Oak Park, the 2 candidates running for City Council, Carolyn Burns and Shaun Whitehead are also running unopposed. The only contested race is for Oak Park Mayor. We'll hear from Mayor Marian McClellan and from her opponent Crystal Bailey. Each candidate will speak for 5-10 minutes about their reasons for running and present their platform. There will not be a question and answer period. This is not a debate but rather a chance for us to learn about the candidates and their vision for our cities.
