Candidate Meet & Greet Set For Hamden State Legislative Candidates

HAMDEN, CT — The League of Women Voters of Hamden/North Haven will host a meet-and-greet event featuring Hamden’s state legislative candidates.

The public is invited to the event, which will take place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 1, at Miller Memorial Library, Thornton Wilder Hall, 2901 Dixwell Avenue in Hamden.

All candidates for the state legislature representing Hamden have been invited to attend. Each candidate will have five minutes to speak.

Following the presentations, attendees will have the opportunity to meet the candidates, ask questions, and learn where they stand on issues that matter to Hamden residents, according to a news release.

“The decisions made in Hartford affect our schools, taxes, public safety, transportation, healthcare, and other issues that touch our daily lives,” the news release states. “This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from the people seeking to represent Hamden before casting your ballot.

“Whether you've already started thinking about the election or are still undecided, attending this event will help you become a more informed voter. Bring your questions, invite your neighbors, and take advantage of this chance to engage with the candidates in a nonpartisan community setting. Your vote matters—and making an informed choice begins with being informed.

“Don't leave your vote to campaign ads or mailers — come hear directly from the candidates and decide for yourself.”

The event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
