Auburn Area CONNECT Chamber of Commerce invites residents and community members to attend a virtual candidate forum on Tuesday, October 19th via Zoom (CLICK HERE to join the meeting). This is an opportunity to learn more about local candidates running for elected office.
This is not a debate. Candidates in attendance will be asked questions and provided an opportunity to share their thoughts on important topics related to economic growth, community safety, and support for local businesses. Questions will be submitted by members of the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce Advocacy Committee and CONNECT business members. Each response will be timed to provide candidates an equal amount of time to speak.
We are pleased to welcome Ingrid S. Gourley Mungia, JD, Executive Director of Government Relations at MultiCare, as our forum moderator.
The forum will be recorded and available on the Auburn Area Chamber of Commerce website at auburnareawa.org.
