So far, the forums have been successful! We have had many community members in each district show up and engage the candidates with very helpful questions on the important public health issues that matter most to each area. The candidates have made time to hear their potential constituents' concerns and share their position on each issue. The forums have been a valuable resource for everyone involved.
We are very excited to have these forums recorded by WisconsinEye and posted to their Web site.
The forums recorded here are the 77th AD forum, held in Madison on Sept. 7th, the 8th AD forum in Milwaukee on Sept. 9th and the 10th AD forum in Milwaukee Sept. 10th.
