Hear from election candidates tonight at event co-sponsored by George Fox Civility Project
Candidates for local Newberg/Dundee area office in the upcoming May elections will make their case to voters at a Candidates Forum tonight (Wednesday) starting at 5:30 p.m. at the Chehalem Cultural Center (415 E. Sheridan St.).
All four candidates for the Newberg School Board, including both David Russ and Andy Beyerly, who are running from Zone 1 (Dundee) in the only contested school board race this year, will participate in the school board forum, which starts at 5:30 p.m.
Four of the five candidates for three seats on the Chehalem Parks and Recreation Board will be invited to answer questions starting at about 6:30 p.m. (the fifth candidate is out of the state).
The public is invited to both forum sessions, which will be held in the new LaJoie Theater at the Cultural Center. The forums are co-sponsored by four non-partisan groups: the George Fox University Civility Project, the Chehalem Valley Chamber of Commerce, the Newberg City Club, and the Newberg/Dundee United as Neighbors group.
