BROOKLYN CENTER, Minn. — Brooklyn Center voters heard from five candidates for mayor and City Council on Tuesday as they outlined their positions on police surveillance technology, property taxes, public safety, immigration and other issues facing the city.
The Sept. 8 forum, hosted by the League of Women Voters of Brooklyn Park, Osseo and Maple Grove, featured mayoral candidate Teneshia Kragness and City Council candidates Gretchen Enger, Dan Jerzak, Nahid Khan and Mark Viste.
The Mshale guide below summarizes positions expressed by the candidates during the forum and is intended to provide voters with an at-a-glance comparison of their answers. It does not represent the candidates’ complete campaign platforms.

Mayoral candidate Alexander Koenig is not included in the comparison because he did not participate in the forum. Organizers said Koenig had been invited but did not attend and gave no reason for his absence.
Mshale emailed and texted Koenig Wednesday morning and attempted to reach him by phone, leaving a voicemail seeking an explanation for his absence and asking whether he had notified forum organizers in advance. He did not respond before publication.
Brooklyn Center voters will elect a mayor and two at-large City Council members in the Nov. 3 general election. Early voting begins Sept. 18 at Brooklyn Center City Hall.
