West Maui Taxpayers Association hots 2024 General Election Candidates Night, Sept. 30

The West Maui Taxpayers Association (WMTA) invites West Maui voters to their 2024 Annual Meeting and General Election Candidates Night on Sept. 30, 2024.  A meet and greet starts at 3 p.m., followed by the WMTA Annual Meeting at 5 p.m. and a Candidates Forum at 5:30 p.m. at the Lahaina Civic Center Social Hall.

The WMTA General Election Candidates Night is the only forum of its kind in West Maui. Candidates who appear on the West Maui General Election ballots have been invited: State Senate District 6, State Representative District 14, and Maui County Council seats.

“West Maui is a unique and vibrant community that provides employment opportunities and generates significant tax revenues for all levels of government,” according to organization leaders.  “WMTA is also unique in that our mission is to promote efficient use of the taxes generated to invest in infrastructure, services and amenities that help ensure that West Maui remains one of the best places to live, work and visit in the world.”

As the WMTA General Election Candidates Night is for West Maui voter education, organizers ask that any candidate attending refrain from bringing a large contingent of supporters.  No signs, banners or other campaign materials will be allowed inside the Civic Center, and all election activities must be conducted outside at the hall table areas.   “Anyone displaying disruptive or disrespectful behavior will be asked to leave,” organizers said. 

There will be a complimentary catering dinner service provided by WMTA.
