One of Lima's mayoral candidates met with citizens Wednesday afternoon in a question and answer session.
Joshua Hayes invited people to speak about positive and negative things that they are seeing around town, and what they want to see changed. Hayes says that talking with people about the community is an important factor as he runs for mayor.
"The people are really what this motivation is about, and so as a representative for the people, I think that we’ve got to have an ear as to what’s happening, what people would like to see in their communities," said Hayes.
Hayes is running against Sharetta Smith, Elizabeth Hardesty, and Autumn Swanson in the may primary election. The top two candidates will go on to the November election.
