All candidates have been invited.   Candidates are welcome to bring campaign literature that may be placed on a table provided outside the meeting room.

At the forum, the candidates will each give a two-minute opening statement.  Candidates will have an opportunity to respond to questions from the audience, the League and the Chamber of Commerce.  Questions will be submitted in writing from the audience and screened to avoid duplication.  Candidates will have one minute to respond to each question.  League members will time candidate’s responses to ensure equity.  Following the questions each candidate will have one minute to make a closing statement.  Candidates must be present; a candidate’s representative will not be allowed to make a statement.
