KWSO invited Tribal Council candidates to come in for a short interview for the purpose of letting Tribal Members learn about them as individuals. KWSO also recorded audio at the Agency District Forum held in February. Spilyay Tymoo requested statements and photos from candidates for a special Tribal Council Election edition of the newspaper. For candidates who did not come in to do a KWSO interview and who did not participate in the Agency Forum, KWSO recorded the statement provided to the Spilyay Tymoo. To hear candidates online you can go to KWSO.org and click on the Tribal Council Election Box at the top of the home page.
