The Great Bend League of Women Voters will once again be hosting a Candidate Forum on Tuesday, July 24th at 7 p.m. in the Great Bend High School Auditorium. The forum will include candidates for Great Bend City Council, Barton County Commission and the 1st District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

That’s LWV local spokesperson Becky Dudrey who says the questions for the candidates will be a mix of questions that have been submitted by the public and those that have been crafted by league members.

Dudrey says the event is not a town hall meeting so there will be no vocal audience participation. However, candidates will be available both before and after the forum and during intermission to visit with constituents. Candidates who are running unopposed will be introduced but will not speak from the podium.

Past candidate forums have taken place at the Crest Theater and Dudrey wants everyone to know about the change of venue.

If you can’t attend Tuesday’s forum, you will be able to listen to the entire event starting at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday the 25th on 1590 KVGB and 97.7 FM.
