The Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting a Candidate Forum tonight ( Monday )  at 6 p.m. at the C. L. Hoover Opera House.

Dennis Beson, Chamber CEO, said that he hopes to see a lot of community involvement.

“We are allowing the people to come out, meet the candidates [again] and ask some tough questions…we will give you a 3×5 card when you’re coming in, write a question down and it may or may not make the podium based off of time…we’d like you to come out, we’ve got a pretty good range of candidates that are going to be there,” said Beson.

Local candidates for County Commission, County Attorney, 17th District Senate, and 68th District House of Representatives will be in attendance.

Other candidates for state and federal offices will also be in attendance.

The schedule includes a get-to-know session with Dave Baker, a candidate for the Kansas House of Representatives and U.S. Senate candidate Patrick Wiesner from 6:05 to 6:45 p.m., and forums featuring 17th District Kansas Senate candidates Jeff Longbine and Susan Fowler from 6:45 to 7:30, candidates for Geary County Attorney Chris Biggs and Krista Blaisdell from 7:30 to 8:15, candidates for the 2nd District seat on the Geary County Commission Larry Hicks and Charles Stimatze from 8:15 to 9 p.m. , and candidates for the 1st District seat in the U.S. House of Representatives Roger Marshall and Alan LaPolice from 9 to 9:45 p.m.
