Laconia Non-Partisan Candidate Forum 2024 Offers Voter Education and Engagement Ahead of General Election
The public is invited to attend a non-partisan forum to hear from candidates seeking election to the New Hampshire House of Representatives for Laconia Wards 1, 3, 4, 5 and 6, as well as the State Senate (District 2) and the Executive Council, (District 1). Both Democrat and Republican candidates will share their views on state and local issues most important to voters on Thursday, October 10 from 6:45 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Belknap Mill, 25 Beacon Street East in Laconia. The event is free and open to the public and will be moderated by the League of Women Voters of New Hampshire.
“The general election on November 5 is critically important for the future of Laconia, the Belknap County region and the entire state,” stated Matt Soza, a member of the organizing committee. “This candidates forum is for everyone. We hope that voters will attend to learn more about the candidates running for office and understand their positions on important issues that will impact our community.”
Audience members attending the forum will have an opportunity to submit written questions about the issues that concern them most. Those who would like to do so are encouraged to arrive at the event shortly after doors open at 6 p.m. to allow for enough time to provide a suggested question and find a seat. The event also will be recorded by Lakes Region Public Access (LRPA-TV).
“Many here in Laconia have a deep desire to build community and have neighbors and friends be able to listen and learn from each other,” added Kay Anderson, another member of the organizing committee. “We hope this forum will help spark meaningful, respectful conversations with a heightened sense of optimism for building stronger communities. We encourage voters to mark their calendar and bring a friend!”
“The League of Women Voters encourages active participation in government,” stated Liz Tentarelli for League of Women Voters NH. “We are pleased to offer this non-partisan opportunity to the people of Laconia to learn more about their candidates before the election on November 5."
The Unitarian Universalist Society of Laconia (UUSL) and the League of Women Voters of New Hampshire (LWV-NH) are sponsoring the event as a community service and do not recommend or endorse candidates. The candidate forum is co-sponsored by the Rotary Club of Laconia, Temple B’nai Israel in Laconia, Laconia Human Relations Committee and the Greater Laconia Ministerial Association.
Reverend Judith Wright, UUSL minister and committee chairperson, added, “We’re very excited about this public event for local voters. At the conclusion of the forum, I hope people will feel inspired to
create more welcoming, safe spaces where we can learn how to work together in finding real solutions that benefit all of us.”
