Good morning,
If you are receiving this email, it is because I have you marked down as attending our Candidate Forum on Thursday, June 13th.
As a reminder the program will begin at 4:30PM and conclude by 6:30PM, you are able to arrive as early as 3:45/4:00PM, please arrive no later than 4:20PM.
A few questions I have received from candidates:
- Are campaign staff allowed? Yes, they are allowed to attend, they will not be allowed to participate in the actual Q&A and will remain seated with attendees.
- Is material permitted? Campaign literature and signs are allowed in the back of the room we have a few tables reserved for this; limit pieces please do not bring a cart full.
- Are questions available beforehand? No, questions are not made available ahead of time.
- Will there be a post primary forum? No, there will be a post primary meet & greet in August.
What to Expect:
- Note pad, water and pen provided to you.
- There will be time for an opening statement 45 seconds before the Q&A.
- Q&A is rapid fire, which essentially means each question is asked of each candidate, and each candidate will have 30 seconds to reply.
- A closing statement should time allow will be permitted not to exceed 60 seconds.
- There will be a timekeeper in the front row and a buzzer when the time is up.
- We will begin with county commissioner seats then move into state house/senate.
Please note, if you are aware of a campaign that did not receive the initial email or thought they RSVP'd have them contact me by email immediately. We have gone back through all emails; however, I want to be sure no one is left out that had replied to participate or filed to run.
Kindly,
