F3’s election-year in-person Candidate Forums play an important role in informing Flagstaff voters by providing an opportunity to directly ask questions of, and evaluate, the candidates.
On Monday, September 23, it’s your chance to get to know and ask questions directly to the six candidates for Flagstaff City Council whose names will appear on the November General Election ballot. There are three open seats to be filled on council this year. (Mayor Daggett is running unopposed in the mayoral race.)
F3’s unique speed-dating format will allow Flagstaff voters to meet each candidate while seated with a small group. We’ve worked to provide a quiet environment in which to interact with each candidate by securing nearby classrooms located a short walk from the Commons. Each small group of participants will be physically separated and able to concentrate and hear the interactions with each candidate as they rotate between classrooms.
Candidates will talk with your group and answer questions for a period of 10 minutes before rotating to the next group. Participants remain with the same small group throughout the forum.
Forum Organization:
Arrive at 6:00 pm in the Commons if you’d like to to talk individually with the candidates during an informal 30-minute “mingle” period.
At 6:30 pm sharp, the program will begin on stage in the Commons with a few words from F3 followed by two-minute introductory statements from each candidate.
Following the introductory statements, participants will move into small groups located in adjacent classrooms. These rooms are only a short inside walk from the Commons area; one group will remain in the Commons.
The Forum is expected to end between 8:00-8:30.
Don’t miss your chance to get to know what the candidates think about issues of importance to you and our community.
See you on the 23rd!
Michele James
Executive Director
