Candidate Forums

LWV Tarrant County moderates several Candidate Forums for local races during election season. As always, we are nonpartisan, never supporting or opposing any political candidate or party.

If attending a forum, please note that campaign literature, buttons, signs, clothing or any other campaign-related items must not be worn, displayed or brought into the room.

We need volunteers to serve as moderators, time keepers and organizers. To volunteer for a Candidate Forum or to request the League moderate a local forum in your area, please contact voterservices1@lwvtarrantcounty.org.

Fort Worth Report, KERA, SteerFW and the League of Women Voters are nonpartisan organizations.

We chose the most hotly contested and highest-profile races. Unfortunately, time prevents us from having forums for all the races. For the others, we have invited the party chairs to encourage the candidates to meet with the audience after the forums.
