| Meeting Reminder Thursday October 6, Noon The Springfield City Club, the League of Women Voters of Lane County and the Eugene City Club cordially invite you to a candidate forum for all candidates to fill the seat in Congress for Congressional District 4. The forum will be held as a Zoom webinar on October 6 and will begin at noon. In response to our invitation sent in July, all five candidates agreed to appear. The candidates are, in alphabetical order: Mike Beilstein of the Pacific Green Party, Jim Howard of the Constitution Party, Val Hoyle of the Democratic Party, Levi Leatherberry of the Independent Party, and, Alek Skarlatos, candidate of the Republican party. :We have offered each candidate an opportunity to submit a 250 word statement concerning their candidacy. So far, only one has been submitted. It is attached HERE. JOIN WEBINAR The forum will last ninety minutes. Chris Lehman of KLCC radio will moderate the forum. Attendees are invited to submit questions for the moderator to pose to the candidates. Mr. Lehman will make the final decision on all questions. In addition to the Zoom webinar, the forum will be livestreamed on the Springfield City Club web page and the City Club of Eugene You tube channel. Those in the 4th Congressional District face a major decision in the election coming on November 8th. For the first time in more than a generation, there will be a change in the representation of the district. No incumbent is standing for reelection. Some say that the recent decisions of the US Supreme Court have raised several new issues for candidates to address, in addition to the issues already facing Oregonians. We are happy to have several cosponsors from organization across District 4. These include the League of Women Voters of Coos Bay, the League of Women Voters of Umpqua Valley, the Siuslaw Public Library District, the Coos Bay Public Library, and the North Bend Public Library. These organizations will be sending out invitations to their contacts and may be able to livestream the forum over the media outlets as well.
