The Illinois Valley Area Chamber of Commerce and Economic Development (IVAC) will host a Meet the Candidates Forum on Wednesday, January 24th, 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. at the IVCC Cultural Center in Oglesby. The event is meant to be an informative session where voters can hear directly from the candidates about their platforms and visions for the district. The forum will also serve as a platform for candidates to answer questions directly from registered participants.
This forum will feature all five candidates running for the 76th district including, Cohen Barnes, Liz Bishop, Carolyn Zasada, Crystal Loughran, and Murri Briel. It is meant to be an engaging event so participants are encouraged to submit their questions in advance.
“We believe that an informed community is essential for a thriving democracy. This Meet the Candidates Forum is an excellent opportunity for voters to engage directly with the candidates and make informed decisions about the future of the 76th District,” said Bill Zens, Executive Director of IVAC.
