All candidates for this non-partisan race have been invited. They are, in alphabetical order: Anders Folk, Cedrick Frazier, Diane Krenz, Hao Nguyen and Matt Pelikan. The two candidates who receive the most votes in the Primary Election on August 11 will proceed to the General Election on November 3rd.

The event is free and open to the public. It will be live streamed at http://gvlive.ccxmedia.org/  and the recording will be available online after the forum. If you need an ASL interpreter, contact the League office by June 21.
