Metro Council Candidate Forums
Center For Neighborhoods is excited to partner with the League of Women Voters to present the Metro Council Forums.

Each forum will be held in a neighborhood, making them more accessible to neighbors in that particular District. The forums will be taped by Metro TV for airing prior to Election Day. All of the forums will last 30 minutes and be moderated by a member of the League of Women Voters. As in previous years, the forums are free and open to the public.
