Pros and Cons schedule

The League of Women Voters of Nevada County will host four candidate forums and two pros and cons presentations about the ballot measures for this election cycle.

Questions from the community for each candidate forum are welcome and can be submitted via this form. Please submit questions at least two days before the forum date. Late questions may not be considered. Questions must be specific to the position and must apply to all candidates. Questions will be consolidated and prioritized to address the community’s issues of most concern.

All forums and pros and cons except Grass Valley City Council, which will take place via Zoom, and the Truckee pros and cons presentation, will be held at the Rood Center, 950 Maidu Ave, Nevada City, streamed live on Comcast and Suddenlink Channel 18, and on the Nevada County Media’s main YouTube channel. The forums can be viewed on demand within 24 hours after the event on NCM here and on the League’s  YouTube channel.
