General Election Candidate Forum

October 25, 2024 7:45 AM - 9:30 AM (EDT)

Description

General Election Candidates

Our Advocacy in Action programs support our Chamber's commitment to helping our members stay informed about community issues and advocating for a business-friendly environment. That starts with being an educated voter and knowing who is running to represent your community.

This special Advocacy in Action program is your opportunity to meet local candidates running for office in the upcoming election. Our October 25 Candidate Forum will focus on both State & County level races, but note that due to the high number of candidates, we have concentrated on contested races in districts that represent the majority of our members and their businessesEach candidate will have a few minutes to share more about themselves and their stance on important community issues, as well as participate in a facilitated Q&A.

We look forward to inviting you to participate in open and constructive dialogue with the candidates, ensuring you stay informed and engaged with the issues that shape our community!

Please note this event is not open to the media.
