News from our partners at Southern Oregon Climate Action Now
Southern Oregon Climate Action Now (SOCAN) is hosting a candidate forum from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Medford Public Library, 205 Central Ave., Tuesday, Oct. 8, to which all candidates for the designated positions have been invited to this free event.
Candidates for the following races will be attending: Jackson County Board of Commissioners; Oregon House Districts 4, 5, and 6; Oregon Senate District 2; Oregon Congressional District 2. All candidates in these races have been invited, though we know that all will not appear.
So that more people will have the opportunity to be involved in the forum, you are invited to submit one question for the candidates ahead of time to al**@**can.eco. Please submit your question by 5 p.m. Monday, Oct. 7. After those questions have been addressed, the remainder of the time for audience questions will be open to the floor. SOCAN will also provide cards at the event for attendees who prefer to submit questions that way. Questions may be general for all candidates or target a particular race or candidate. All questions will be vetted by a SOCAN panel for relevance to the topic, repetition and clarity.
For more information, visit the SOCAN website. The forum will be followed by a 30-minute informal “meet ‘n’ greet” opportunity when constituents can continue conversations with candidates.
SOCAN has offered candidate forums on the subject of climate and the environment since its establishment 12 years ago. These events serve SOCAN’s mission to provide candidates and constituents an opportunity to discuss issues falling under this heading and promote a better-informed electorate.
