This evening is designed to give them that chance:
� Meet local candidates
� Ask questions that matter to you
� Hear perspectives and share your own
Whether you’re voting for the first time or simply want to learn more about the issues that impact you, this panel is about creating space for real conversations and informed choices. An email will be sent to all attendees approx 24 hours prior to advise what to expect & how to prepare.
