Locally, Joplin’s city council election was scheduled to take place on April 7th but because of the pandemic the election was shifted 60 days to Tuesday June 2nd. Next hour  we’ll turn our attention to a candidate in Zone 2, Charles Coople.  But first Shawna Ackerson who is running for a general, a four-year seat on the Joplin City Council.
