Description
Join us for a Candidate Forum during our September Business Lunch. Candidates representing races within the Fife, Milton, and Edgewood communities have been invited to participate, including candidates for Pierce County Council District 5, Washington State Legislative Districts 27 and 31 (House and Senate), Congressional Districts 6 and 9, and all five Washington State Supreme Court positions.
This event is designed to encourage conversation and connection rather than debate. Candidates will have an opportunity to introduce themselves, followed by time for attendees to speak with candidates one-on-one, ask questions, and learn more about the individuals seeking to represent our communities.
Whether you're a business owner, community leader, or engaged resident, we invite you to join us for this opportunity to connect with the candidates and become a more informed voter.
The following candidates have confirmed their attendance to date:
- Carole Sue Braaten – State District #27
- Dave Larson – Supreme Court, Justice Position No. 5
- Stephen R. Szczurko-Walton – State District #31
- Sean O'Donnell – Supreme Court, Justice Position No. 4
- Phil Fortunato – Senate State #31
- Tamara Stramel– Senate State #31
Additional candidates will be added as confirmations are received. Candidates are listed in the order RSVPs were received.
