These biannual election year forums provide an opportunity for voters to learn more about the candidates campaigning for offices in Narragansett and South Kingstown and representing these towns in the state legislature. During the forums, each candidate will be given the opportunity to answer as many questions as time allows and an opportunity to make a closing statements. Forums with fewer than six candidates will also have an opening statement. The League urges voters not to miss this chance to meet the candidates and hear their views about the issues that are important to you. There will be no forum for Senate District 37 as the candidate seeking election for this position is running unopposed.

We encourage voters and other interested parties to become involved by submitting questions. Questions may be submitted until seven days prior to the date of the forum. Questions may be submitted anonymously via a Google Form linked to the League’s Facebook page at: facebook.com/lwvrisc.Questions may also be submitted by email to: www.lwvrisc@gmail.com or by mail to: LWVSC, P.O. Box 1636, Westerly, RI 02891-1636. Questions received after submission deadlines will not be considered.
