Following the tremendous response to our 2026 Mayoral Candidate Job Interview , DREAM Delta is expanding the initiative to include the candidates seeking election to Delta City Council . All City Council candidates are being invited to participate in the DREAM Delta 2026 City Council Candidate Job Interview , using the same basic idea that guided our Mayoral initiative: Give every candidate the same opportunity.
