1316 Cornwall Ave in downtown Bellingham - The old Woolworths

Doors open at 11am - all candidates welcome at every forum

Take a little extra lunch time to fully attend these informative and entertaining political forums. Tables will be available for eating lunch. All candidates from all races are welcome at all the forums to set up a table with brochures.

Each candidate will give a 1 minute opening statement, followed by 12 minutes of questions from the audience (7 minutes for uncontested races) and a 2 minute closing statement. Candidates - no notes. You have to handle yourself without notes. More fun that way. And we learn more about you.
