Meet the candidates this Sunday

By Charles Sercombe
Hamtramck’s next city election is just a few weeks away.
The ballot features a race for three city council seats, three city charter changes, and another attempt by the Hamtramck Public School District to have a millage renewed for another 10 years.
In the council race, three incumbents, Mohammed Alsomiri, Nayeem Choudhury and Mohammed Hassan, are facing three challengers.
The challengers are: Lynn Blasey, Muhtasin Sadman and Nasr Hussain.
In the August Primary Election, Hassan came in fourth behind Blasey, which might mean he faces a tough battle in the Nov. 7 General Election.
If Blasey is elected, she would be the only woman on the council.
The top three vote-getters in the November election will serve on council, starting in January, for the next four years.
A candidate forum will be held this Sunday, Oct. 8, at 5 p.m. at the Hamtramck Public Library.
It will feature a question-and-answer period. The forum runs until 6 p.m.
The public is invited to arrive early, from 4:30 p.m. on, for refreshments.
The forum is organized by a non-partisan committee. The library is located at 2360 Caniff.
Can’t make it to the forum? You can see it broadcast later on Hamtramck Public TV, Channel 19.
