January 3rd LWV Candidate Forum

The League of Women Voters of New Castle County will host a forum for Newark Mayoral candidates on Wednesday, January 3, 2024, at 7:00 pm at the Newark Free Library.  

The forum is free and open to the public. Doors will open at 6:30 pm. Members of the audience will be given cards on which to write questions for the moderator to pose to the candidates. An informal "Meet and Greet" for all candidates present will follow the program.

All qualified candidates have been invited to attend. At least two candidates must be present for the forum to proceed, and as of mid-December 2023 two candidates (Michael O'Neal and Demitri Theodoropoulos) have agreed to participate. The forum will be video recorded and available, in its entirety, afterward on the LWVNCC website (https://my.lwv.org/delaware/new-castle-county).
