ABERDEEN, S.D. (HubCityRadio.com) – The June Primary Election is less than three weeks away (Tuesday, June 2), and while there will not be an in-person forum, the Aberdeen Area Chamber of Commerce is working to help voters get to the know the candidates.

The Chamber is hosting three candidate forums via ZOOM within the next week. The first one takes place Thursday, May 14 and the other two will be next week.

The forums will last about an hour. The first one is at 2 p.m. Thursday and includes the candidates for the Brown County Commission: Rachel Kippley (R), Michael Nehls (D), and Duane Sutton (R). That link is: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_oI_ARFgaQqecY15CbepliQ
