Candidate Forums for General Election Set for Next Week

The Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce’s Government Affairs Committee is hosting Candidate Forums for the general election candidates next week. Sheridan Media’s Ron Richter has the details.

The candidate forums will take place September 24 and 25 at 6 pm at the WYO Theater in downtown Sheridan. The forums provide an opportunity for those running in contested races for elected office in the November 5 general election to share information about themselves and their platforms. Each candidate will give a brief introduction, followed by a question and answer period and a closing statement. On September 24, the forum will host school board candidates for Sheridan County School Districts One, Two, and Three.

The September 25 forum will host candidates for United States Senator, United States Representative, State Representative – District #29, County Commissioners, Town of Dayton Councilmember, Town of Ranchester Councilmember, City of Sheridan Mayor and City of Sheridan Councilmember. Questions for the candidates may be submitted in advance to the Chamber’s Government Affairs Committee for the committee’s consideration. The deadline to submit questions is 5 pm on Monday, September 23. Questions should be emailed to kmyers@sheridanwyomingchamber.org or delivered to the Chamber office at 54 S. Main St. in Sheridan.

All questions will be asked by the moderator. Due to time limitations, no direct questions from the audience will be allowed. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend. The forum will be livestreamed on the Chamber’s YouTube Channel as well as recorded. The recording will be available within 48 hours on the Chamber’s YouTube channel and website.
