On Wednesday, Feb. 26, Aspen Public Radio, The Aspen Times and Aspen Daily News held the 2025 Squirm Night with Aspen City Council candidates live from the main stage of The Wheeler Opera House.
Candidates in attendance included incumbent John Doyle, incumbent Torre, Emily Kolbe, Christine Benedetti, Scot Woolley and Tyler Wilkinson-Ray.
The conversation started with a dedicated section on the Entrance to Aspen issues and referenda. The second half of the evening was dedicated to questions on Aspen's homeless population, childcare, arts funding and community preservation. The forum was moderated by Aspen Daily News Editor-in-Chief Andre Salvail and The Aspen Times Editor-in-Chief Ray Erku.
