The two forums for local races will be moderated by Dr. Eric Schwartz, Professor in the Social Science department at Hagerstown Community College.
The 6th District forum will be moderated by Dr. Betty Mayfield, chair of the mathematics department at Hood College and a past president of the League of Women Voters of Frederick County.
League President Richard Willson said that these forums have been scheduled early this fall so that voters planning to vote by mail will have the information they need to cast their ballots.
Visit the League’s webpage LWVWashCo.org for event links and directions on how to submit audience questions for the forums.
Printed answers to questions posed to those running for all offices on the 2020 ballot are available on the League’s premier voter information platform at www.VOTE411.org.
