PART ONE: City Council Candidates | Bo Hess, Kevan Frazier, Sage Turner

Three seats on Asheville’s City Council will be filled in November’s general election, but to get there, we need to first get through a small-stakes primary. I say small stakes because of the seven candidates on the ballot, only one will drop off after the March 5 primary.

Still, that didn’t keep locals from packing Citizen Vinyl last Tuesday for a casual mixer thrown by the Asheville Downtown Association. Six of the seven candidates showed up, chatted up prospective voters and sat down with me for quick conversations about their candidacies.

In this episode, you’ll hear from Bo Hess, Kevan Frazier and sitting councilwoman Sage Turner. In Wednesday’s episode, I’ll speak with Iindia Pearson, CJ Domingo and sitting councilwoman Kim Roney.
