We invite ALL candidates on the ballot for a contest to answer questions and give statements before the public.  Each candidate will have the same amount of time to speak.  Questions come from the audience with the League only checking for duplicate questions and inappropriate language.  We ask as many questions as possible during the planned forum time limit.

• You can watch and listen to candidates address issues in more than just a brief sound bite.
• You can submit questions to be asked of all candidates.
• You may choose between candidates based on direct observations.
• You become engaged in the political process.

We suggest you watch and listen with these ideas in mind

• Think ahead and decide which issues are most import to you.
• Is the candidate answering the question?  Pay attention to HOW the candidate answers the questions.  Are they specific? Sincere? Knowledgeable?
• Based on the candidate’s responses:  Do they reflect your values?  Does he or she support the priorities and issues that you care about?
• We ask all candidates to a set of ground rules before the event.
