Empowering Voters to Defend Democracy.
The League of Women Voters White Bear Lake Area (LWV WBLA) invited me to participate in a Mayors Candidate Forum on, Saturday, September 19, 2026. The Forum took place at the Arden Hills City Hall.
The purpose of the forum was to give local voters an opportunity to hear candidates discuss the issues of importance in this election. The Candidate Forum follows the nonpartisan, unbiased and impartial format established by the League of Women Voters Minnesota.
