Candidates have been invited to submit profiles and campaign statements, which will be published in an email to all Bar members before the forum.
The forum is open to all Bar members and to the public. Bar members are invited to submit questions via email to Bar Administrator Lisa-Gaye Hall at admin@28thJDB.com, with the subject heading “Question For Candidates.” We intend to live stream the event on Zoom, and will publish a link a week before the event.
