The Addison County Chamber of Commerce and Addison County Economic Development Corporation will be hosting candidates' forums on the first three Wednesdays of October. The forums will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at area high schools. Tim Buskey, a familiar voice at the Grange legislative breakfasts, will moderate each event.

Format:
As the public enters the forum, they will be asked to write a topic area on a card (i.e. taxes, workplace requirements, regulation, marijuana, etc.). During the candidate introductions, we will aggregate the responses and the moderator will ask questions related to the most requested topics. If time allows, questions will also be allowed from the floor.
These forums are an important part of the democratic process, allowing all candidates' positions to be heard in an open exchange. This year should be especially interesting, as there are several contended races in Addison County.
