Candidate forum a big success!
Posted by: | CommentsA big thank you to everyone who helped organize and host our candidate forum. In addition, thanks to everyone who attended. We had approximately 50 folks there last night, and around 13 candidates had a chance to speak. Even though the evening’s program looked a lot different than we’d first envisioned, it was well received and provided an excellent opportunity for folks to learn more about our Democratic candidates. Our gratitude to all of y’all for making the event a success.
