At 7 p.m. Tuesday, March 13, Elgin Area School District U-46, Citizens’ Advisory Council, the League of Women Voters, the Elgin Teachers Association, and the Daily Herald will hold a forum for Illinois senate candidates who are facing off in the March primary election.

The forum will be in the auditorium of Streamwood High School, 701 W. Schaumburg Road. The moderator will be Kerry Lester, political reporter for the Daily Herald, and the questions will be education-related.
