Lunch Time Soapbox Forums
The Candidate Debates
1316 Cornwall Ave in downtown Bellingham - The old Woolworths
Doors open at 11am - all candidates welcome at every forum.

For a great lunch time, attend these informative and entertaining political forums. Bring your lunch or buy a sandwich at the cart on the sidewalk. Tables will be available for eating lunch. Plus - free bottles of drinking water.

Competing candidates each give a 1 minute opening statement, followed by 12 minutes of questions from the audience, 14 minutes of questions to each other (7 minutes each) and a 1 minute closing statement. Unchallenged candidates will give a 1 minute opening, answer audience questions for 8 minutes and give a 1 minute closing. All candidates - no notes. You have to handle yourself without notes. We learn more about you.
