Kentucky’s primary election is now on June 23rd, and half of Louisville’s Metro Council seats — the even-numbered ones, this time — will be up for election (though not all of them have contested primaries).

Join us live for the conversations on Facebook, and submit your questions for the candidates ahead of time here.
