Invited to attend the Brawley forum are the candidates for City Council; incumbents Don Campbell and Toni Carrillo, along with Mason Ettinger, Wayne Johnson, Ryan Kelley, George Nava and Lee Quarcelino, Sr.. The candidates for City Treasurer, Jim Hamilton and R.C. Valenzuela, have also been invited, as well as those running for the Brawley Elementary School Board and the Imperial Valley College Board of Trustees.
