Friday, October 28, 2022 at 6:00 PM | The League of Women Voters of the Uncompahgre Valley and the City of Montrose will co-host a Candidate Forum for the Colorado State House District 58 race between candidates Marc Catlin and Kevin Kuns. The Forum will be at 6:00 PM on Friday, October 28th, at the Montrose City Council Chambers, 107 S. Cascade Avenue, Montrose. The Montezuma County and Gunnison Valley Leagues are co-sponsors.
The Forum will live stream on cityofmontrose.org. A recording of the Forum will be available on YouTube.
The League of Women Voters never promotes any candidate or political party. They are a nonpartisan grassroots organization working to protect and expand voting rights and ensure everyone is represented in our democracy. They empower voters and defend democracy through advocacy, education, and litigation at the local, state, and national levels. They envision a democracy where every person has the desire, the right, the knowledge, and the confidence to participate.
The League of Women Voter’s Candidate Forums are voter education events held in a town hall format. Rather than focus their attention on each other, candidates speak directly to the audience. While initial questions for the candidates will be from League members, the majority of the questions are generated by the audience themselves. Attendees may submit questions written upon their arrival at the event, which are then asked of the candidates by the moderator. Virtual attendees may also submit questions via zoom@lwv-uv.org with the subject line “HD58 question” by 5:00 PM on Wednesday, October 26th. The moderator will manage and prioritize written questions submitted by attendees.
This format gives the audience an opportunity to have questions and concerns most important to them answered by the candidates. Voters will be better and more fully informed about the candidates for whom they will shortly cast their votes.
Voters should check their information on file at the Secretary of State’s office at GoVoteColorado.gov. Ballots were mailed out on October 17th, and cannot be forwarded. If you have not received your ballot, check with your County Clerk and Recorder’s office. For links to much more election-related information, go to VOTE411.org.
