Come and hear the candidates for the Washington State Legislature respond to issues of concern for older adults and individuals of all ages with disabilities. Questions will be asked on topics ranging from Medicaid coverage and respite care to housing and transportation. Audience members will also have the opportunity to ask their own questions.
Three Candidate Forums will be held simultaneously from 10 a.m. to 12 noon on Saturday, September 18.
- Districts 2, 25 and 31 held at Pilgrim Lutheran Church, 10510 - 136th St. E. in Puyallup;
- Districts 26 & 27 at TACID, 6315 S. 19th Street in Tacoma.
- Districts 28 & 29 at the Lakewood Activity Center, 9119 Lakewood Blvd in Lakewood
All candidates in these districts standing for election to the Washington State Senate and House of Representatives have been invited.
The forums are designed to help the voting public get to know the candidates and hear about their understanding of the needs of older adults and people with disabilities in challenging economic times.
