Two public forums aimed at helping Santa Fe voters engage with the candidates in the 2025 Regular Local Election will take place on Wednesday, Sept. 3 and Wednesday, Sept. 17 at Santa Fe Community College, 6401 Richards Ave. The events will be held in the Jemez Rooms on the college’s main campus and are free and open to the public.
- Sept. 3: City Council Candidate Forum
- Sept. 17: Mayoral Candidate Forum
This collaborative effort is led by The Santa Fe New Mexican, KSFR Santa Fe Public Radio, KSWV Que Suave Radio, and Santa Fe Community College. In addition to the public events, the group will publish candidate surveys, share issue-based content, and co-produce multimedia programming to help inform and empower Santa Fe voters. A key component of this partnership is also to help educate the public about Ranked Choice Voting, which will be used in the mayoral race in the 2025 Regular Local Election.
These nonpartisan forums are designed to give Santa Fe residents a deeper understanding of the candidates and issues ahead of the 2025 Regular Local Election, which will take place on Tuesday, November 4, 2025. Additional details on format, moderators, and how the public can submit questions will be released soon.
Listeners can tune in to KSFR at 101.1 FM in the Santa Fe region and KSQR at 91.3 FM in the Questa/Taos area. KSFR also streams live at ksfr.org. Coverage will also be available through KSWV Que Suave Radio at 99.9 FM, 810 AM, and online at kswvradio.com.
