Candidate Forum on Wednesday, October 13th, from 7pm – 8:30pm at the White Plains Public Library Auditorium
On Tuesday, November 3rd White Plains voters will be electing 2

candidates, The League of Women Voters of White Plains and the NAACP
WP/Greenburgh Branch are partnering to host a candidate forum on Wednesday, October 13 from 7pm to 8:30pm in the White Plains Public Library Auditorium.
During the forum, a League of Women Voters of Westchester trained moderator who is not a White Plains resident, will pose questions to the candidates selected from those submitted by community members.
How to Ask a Question: While no questions will be taken from the floor, it’s important that your voice is heard. To that end, here is how you can submit your question(s):
- Email your question(s) to Liz Schutt - elizschutt@gmail.com
- Write Common Council Election Question in the subject line
- Deadline for Question Submission is on Friday, October 2nd by 5pm.
While we will not share your name and contact information at the Forum, we ask that you include the following information to ensure that White Plains Residents have their questions heard.
