The Sasso's introduce the new Trenton City Council.

Here's the basic 3 part format:

• Christina and Frank start the episode and introduce their election correspondent and former Trenton West Ward Councilwoman, Annette Lartigue. 
• The Candidate then gets 10 minutes without interruption to present their vision and plans for the city if elected.
• After that, Annette Lartigue and the Sassos have a conversation with the candidate about what they shared. Annette will drive this portion mostly just because she has experience with actually being a council person. 

Trenton Waves wants to give candidates an opportunity to share with the listeners what they want to do in office, and to have a conversation about it. This is not a witch hunt, and you will not be asked any trick questions at all.
