Candidate forum to be held Sunday

Candidates vying for the 14th Congressional seat will be featured in a League of Women Voters candidate forum at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 5. The public is invited to attend the nonpartisan event in which incumbent Democratic Congressman Bill Foster and his Republican opponent, Jim Oberweis, will present their views. The forum will be held at the Norris Cultural Arts Center, 1040 Dunham Road, St. Charles.

The forum is sponsored by the Leagues of Geneva-St. Charles, Batavia, and Elgin in cooperation with the Daily Herald, Beacon News, and Kane County Chronicle. Within a moderated format, a panel of reporters will direct questions to the candidates, followed by questions from the audience. At the end of the forum the audience will be invited to meet informally with the candidates.

The League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan organization which never endorses candidates. The purpose of league candidate forums is to offer the public an opportunity to hear and compare the views of candidates in an open, unbiased setting.

Questions for the candidates may be submitted in advance by the public via www.lwvgenstc.org.
