This forum is for candidates for State offices -- Governor, Lt Governor, Senate, House Rep -- and for County Council candidates.
Great opportunity for voters to meet and talk with 'em all.

James, do you know the format of this forum? Given only two hours, it would seem very difficult for a typical question and answer session to allow any sort of meaningful discussion unless each race were individually broken out and moved to a separate room. There are at least a dozen (or more) offices up for election that could be included in a Hilo based forum with the listed positions.

Jerry,
...late getting back to you. Campaign is rockin'
Format for tonight's forum:
Each candidate has three minutes to introduce who they are and say what they want to say.
Then time to meet and talk.
I went to a forum in 2006, same sponsor, same place, same format and found it helpful to me as a voter.
