2026 Candidate Election Forum

The forum will be conducted in a professional, respectful, and nonpartisan manner. Candidates will receive equal opportunities to respond to questions focused on topics such as economic vitality, workforce and housing, responsible growth, infrastructure, tourism, fiscal responsibility, and quality of life. Our goal is to provide voters with a meaningful opportunity to learn more about each candidate's perspectives, priorities, and approach to serving our community.

The format and participation guidelines will be shared on Monday, Sept 21, prior to the event. The Chamber will invite members of the public to submit questions during the week leading up to the forum. Selected questions may be incorporated into the forum discussion.
