2025 Forums and Interviews
In collaboration with civics students at Bellingham High School, we will question all the candidates for Bellingham City Council at 7 p.m. on October 16 in the school’s main auditorium. The public is warmly encouraged to attend.
Candidates for Whatcom County Council, the Port of Bellingham, and all the other city councils were questioned in forums on Zoom except as noted, and links to these recordings are posted below.
All candidates in contested races for the County’s seven school boards were invited to short interviews and the recordings are also available below.
Ballots will be mailed to voters on October 15, and must be postmarked by November 4 or placed in secure ballot boxes by 8 p.m. on that date. Encourage all your friends to seek information about their candidates and to vote. Local elections are not less important for our lives than national ones. And national politicians may be looking to see what choices we make. So voting is also a vote for democracy.
