The 2026 Mayoral Candidate Forum will take place on March 12th at 7pm at the Nicolet College Theater. It will be moderated by Dan Hagen from WJFW and Katie Thoresen from WXPR. Dan and Katie will ask questions, and audience members are invited to ask questions as well.

“As a community college, we are dedicated to strengthening democracy right here at home. We are proud to host the mayoral candidates to discuss the issues that matter most to Rhinelander residents. This event ensures that our campus remains a vital space for fostering active citizenship and connecting our students with the democratic process.” — Kate Ferrel, Nicolet College President

 The forum will be televised on WJFW on Sunday, March 22. It will air on WXPR on 9:00am on Wednesday, March 25.
