Election Forums

The League of Women Voters conducts election forums for both primary and general election races.  Forums sponsored by the League of Women Voters provide opportunities to hear from candidates as they respond to questions from a moderator.  All candidates in contested races are invited to attend our forums, which are guided by our board-approved Election Forum Policy.

Note:  Certain remarks in the video recording may be upsetting to viewers.  The League of Women Voters of Bellingham-Whatcom County does not condone speech creating violent imagery against others, regardless of whether the intent is to incite or commit violence or not.  Violent statements made by the candidate participating in this League-led event regarding the death of an elected official are not supported by the League.  LWV believes it is important to condemn this type of language explicitly as it has no place in the civil discourse of our democracy. That said, LWV took great care in deciding to leave the content up, unedited, due to our values of free speech and nonpartisan voter information.
