Candidate Forums Team

The League of Women Voters, in carrying out our mission to educate and empower voters, sponsors candidate events. We are widely known for organizing fair and balanced events, encouraging voter participation, and providing unbiased and skilled moderators,

The goals for any League sponsored event are to:

1.   educate the public;

2.   motivate voters to participate in the election;

3.   provide an accessible venue for voters to hear the views of candidates.

        4.   maximize voter turn-out.

This team helps to 1) set the criteria for candidate inclusion at the beginning of the year, 2) identify election races where a candidate forum would benefit the voting public, 3) invite candidates and 4) plan and host the forum event. The chair of this team is Mary Vanderhoof. If you are interested in joining this team, email Mary at lwvcmc@gmail.com.
