Your voice. Your vote. Our community's future.

Candidates running for public office are applying for a job. Forums are like job interviews, and the voters are hiring. Who would hire an employee without interviewing them first?

The League of Women Voters has a long history of conducting candidate forums. We work to provide a platform for voters to learn about who and what will be on their ballot.  Candidate forums give you the chance to hear directly from the people asking for your vote.

​This is a candidate forum, not a debate. Candidates will answer questions about their vision, priorities, and plans for their District.  There's an opportunity to submit your questions. Due to time constraints, only some questions can be answered.
