Candidates Night Forum on October 3rd and 10th

Members of the Central Ohio gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community will have two opportunities to meet the political candidates on the ballot in November and ask the questions that are important to our

community.
“These forums will give the LGBT community an opportunity to see, hear and evaluate all of the candidates side by side. It will also provide our community an opportunity to educate elected officials and candidates about our concerns and issues,” said Karla Rothan, Executive Director of Stonewall Columbus and host to the forums.
Every candidate for Columbus Mayor, Columbus City Council, Franklin County Municipal Court and Columbus School Board has been invited to attend. Each candidate will be given one minute to introduce themselves, followed by written questions from the audience read by a moderator. Each candidate will be given one minute to answer each question. Finally, each candidate will be given one minute at the end of the forum to offer a final remark.
Questions for the candidates can be submitted on the night of each event or in advance by sending the question to <a href=”mailto:thurber1961@aol.com”>thurber1961@aol.com</a>.
The October 3, 2007 forum will feature Columbus Mayoral and City Council candidates and the October 10, 2007 forum will feature Franklin County Municipal Court and Columbus School Board candidates. Both forums will be held on the second floor of Stonewall Columbus, 1160 N. High Street in the Short North. Each forum begins with a reception for the community to meet the candidates one-on-one from 6:30 to 7 p.m. The formal candidate forums will begin promptly at 7 p.m.
These forums are sponsored for the benefit of the GLBT community by HRC, Stonewall Columbus, Stonewall Democrats of Central Ohio, Log Cabin Republicans and co-sponsored by CATF, Equality Ohio, TransOhio, SpeakOUT, OSU GLBT Alumni Society, Outlook Weekly and Out in Columbus.
