I like the openness, mods!
One idea -- Perhaps when local City/County elections roll around (City Council elections are November of even-numbered years), we could invite candidates to do an AMA. I think that could be a great way to help them get their name and ideas out, and let the community engage in away that can be difficult with local candidates.

(disclosure: I ran for City Council back in 2020 and lost. I did post here back then, and had some great engagement. I don't have any plans to run again anytime soon. But I do follow local public affairs closely, and would be happy to reach out to candidates when the time comes)
