Washington

With the November election approaching, the Washington Chamber of Commerce will host a candidate forum on Thursday, Oct. 22, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. The forum will be held on the second floor of the Washington Library in the Nicola Stoufer Room and Washington State Bank Room.

Candidates expected to attend are incumbent Rep. Heather Hora, a Republican, and Democratic candidate Brittany Erickson for Iowa House District 92; incumbent Marcus Fedler, a Republican, and Democratic candidate JoAnn Whitmore for District 3 of the Washington County Board of Supervisors; and Democrat Lynette Iles and Republican Brendan DeLong for the board’s District 5 seat.

Washington County voters will have a chance to hear from each candidate. Questions will cover their backgrounds, how they would make themselves available to hear voters’ concerns if elected, and other topics. Audience members may also ask questions if time permits.

Each candidate will have the opportunity to make closing remarks.
