League of Women Voters call for questions!

Update – we recently put out a request for questions re: the Milton Speaks debate. However, the League of Women Voters is also hosting a candidates’ night. Given the formats of the respective debates it makes more sense to send questions you have of the candidates to the League of Women Voters. Please do that!

You can attend the debate in person on Wednesday, April 6th @ 7:00pm. Please see the details here. If you cannot attend in person, you can submit your question here.

You can also visit the League of Women Voters home page here.
