Candidate Forums 

What Are Candidate Forums? 

Dates at a Glance
One of the League of Women Voters' pride is hosting candidate debates at the local level across the United States. Candidate Forums are a great way for community members to learn about candidates, gain a broader understanding of their political platforms, and form an opinion on each candidate. Bring your family, friends, colleagues, and questions to the Candidate Forums co-hosted by LWVCC, NAACP, and the News-Gazette. We look forward to seeing you there!
