Voters in southern Washington County will have a chance to hear from candidates at a series of forums in September.

The League of Women Voters of Woodbury-Cottage Grove Area is sponsoring six forums, which will be aired live on government access Channel 18 or high-definition Channel 859 (Comcast). They also will be aired live on South Washington County Telecommunications Commission’s website – swctc.org – and recorded for later viewing on Channel 18 (Comcast HD Channel 859) or on SWCTC’s YouTube channel.

On Sept. 3, candidates for Minnesota House District 41A and House District 41B will meet at 7 p.m., and candidates for Cottage Grove City Council and mayor will meet at 8:15 p.m.

On Sept. 12, candidates for Minnesota House District 47A and House District 47B will meet at 7 p.m., and candidates for Woodbury City Council will meet at 8:15 p.m.

On Sept. 17, candidates for Minnesota House District 53B will meet at 7 p.m., and candidates for Newport City Council and mayor will meet at 8:15 p.m.

There will be no in-person audience at the forums; viewers will be able to call or text their questions to a phone number that will be displayed on the screen. They can also submit questions in advance to lwvwcg.forums@gmail.com.

SWCTC also is inviting candidates to record a 2 1/2-minute candidate profile video; videos will be released by Sept. 20 on government access Channel 18 or Comcast high-definition Channel 859 and online at swctc.org.
