Wilton Election 2018 State Legislative Candidate Forum
This November is Election 2018, and the local legislative campaigns will impact Wilton just as much as national ones. To help Wilton residents be as informed and prepared as possible to head into voting booths and cast their votes, GOOD Morning Wilton is teaming up with the Wilton League of Women Voters (LWV) and the Wilton Library to co-sponsor a CT State Legislative Candidate Forum for the State Senate District 26, and the State House Districts 125 and 143.
The forum will bring together on one stage the candidates in each of the races for those districts: candidates for Senate District 26–Toni Boucher (R) and Will Haskell (D); candidates for House District 125–Tom O’Dea (R) andRoss Tartell (D); and candidates for House District 143–Gail Lavielle (R) and Stephanie Thomas (D). All six candidates have confirmed that they plan to attend and participate in the forum.
The forum is scheduled for Tuesday, Oct. 16, 2018, from 7-8:30 p.m. in the Middlebrook Middle School auditorium. The event was originally planned to take place at the Wilton Library, but organizers changed the location when interest in attending outgrew capacity for the library’s Brubeck Room.
Audience members at the event will be able to submit written questions; all questions will be screened for legibility, duplication, and may be combined or condensed.
Jean Rabinow, a member of the Steering Committee of the League of Women Voters of the Bridgeport Area, and Director/Outreach for the League of Women Voters of Connecticut, will moderate the evening’s event.
In addition to the event co-sponsors–Wilton League of Women Voters, Wilton Library and GOOD Morning Wilton–other partners in the event include the Norwalk League of Women Voters and student partners from theWilton High School Model Congress.
