The People’s Town Hall is a nonpartisan community candidate forum focused on issues impacting Spokane residents.
The People's Town Hall is a free, nonpartisan community candidate forum bringing together congressional and state legislative candidates, community organizations, local media, and residents to discuss issues affecting the Spokane region ahead of the August primary election.
Candidates running for Congressional District 5 and Legislative Districts 3, 4, and 6 have been invited to participate. Unlike many traditional candidate forums, the People's Town Hall features questions submitted by community organizations and residents, helping ensure the discussion reflects issues that matter most to the community.
The event will also feature live music by When She Dreams beginning at 12:00 PM, a live broadcast by KYRS Community Radio, ASL interpretation, childcare, food provided by Lilac Mutual Aid, and a donation drive supporting Lilac Mutual Aid's ongoing work serving Spokane community members experiencing housing insecurity.
Hosted by Spokane People's Calendar in partnership with Spokane Public Library, KYRS Community Radio, and other local organizations, the People's Town Hall is designed to encourage informed civic engagement and meaningful community dialogue ahead of the election.
