League of Women Voters sets forum for lands commissioner candidates

The League of Women Voters of Washington and the League of Women Voters of Clark County will present the candidates for the commissioner of public lands to voters in a candidate forum.

The forum will be held at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, July 18, at Clark College in Vancouver. The 90-minute forum will be in person and will be televised live on TVW and streamed at tvw.org/video/. The forum is co-sponsored by The Columbian and The Reflector newspapers.

Voters can expect to hear candidates respond to questions about the office and how they would fulfill the role of commissioner of public lands.

“The Commissioner of Public Lands makes critical decisions about management of state lands. This forum offers voters the opportunity to find out how the Commissioner would do this,” said League of Women Voters of Washington President Mary Coltrane.

“Meeting and visiting with those running for public office benefits both the candidates and the voters,” said Nancy Halvorson, president of the League of Women Voters of Clark County. “Candidates hear directly from voters on what issues are most important and voters gain the knowledge that is needed to inform our decisions when it comes time to vote.”
