The League of Women Voters, along with the Great Bend Chamber of Commerce, the City of Great Bend/CVB and Barton County, invites you to a free, nonpartisan Candidate Forum featuring individuals running for local office in the upcoming election.
This is your opportunity to meet the candidates who want to represent you—your community, your values, and your future. Come hear directly from those seeking your vote, ask questions, and make informed decisions that shape the direction of our region, state, and nation.
Your participation matters.
