LWVTC held Candidate Forums for the 2020 Primary. Forum information will be updated for the General Election.
PRIMARY ELECTION CANDIDATE FORUMS
On June 13, 2020, the League of Women Voters of Thurston County (LWVTC), in collaboration with Thurston Community Media (TC Media) conducted primary election candidate forums for contested local races.
All candidates for the State Legislature, Thurston County Commissioner, or Thurston County Superior Court were invited to participate. While the lists below show all the candidates who filed for a specific race, some candidates did not participate in a forum because of prior commitments or other reasons.
Due to COVID-19, these candidate forums were completed electronically with all participants connected via Zoom. While a few challenges were experienced, we appreciate all who were willing to participate and are appreciative of the support provided by TC Media.
The resulting programs are available for viewing here. Use the Click here for video option below the race titles.
In addition, we have provided a schedule for public television viewing on TCTV Channel 77 (below, after the listing of races).
