One of the League’s signature activities is candidate forums. These forums give voters a chance to hear directly from the candidates themselves. No spin, no marketing, no slick advertising – just the candidates speaking directly to the voters.
To view other past candidate forums, please click here to visit our YouTube Channel.
If your organization is interested in co-hosting a candidate forum, or if you would like to request a presentation about what’s on the ballot, please email us (attention to Voter Services Co-Chair Heidi Davis).
All candidate forums sponsored by the League of Women Voters follow a nonpartisan, unbiased, and impartial format, in keeping with League principles.
The League of Women Voters does not evaluate our Forums, or publish “winners” of Forums. We encourage voters to vote their values. Our Forums give voters nonpartisan information about candidate platforms so that each voter can do precisely that for themselves. Any reporting or claim that a winner was declared for one of our Forums is false.
All forums are free and open to the public.
