Chamber Announces Candidate Forums for Primary Election

The Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce’s Government Affairs Committee will be hosting candidate forums for the upcoming Primary Election. According to a news release from the Chamber, the first forum will take place July 22 in Sheridan and the second is scheduled for July 29 in Dayton. The forums provide an opportunity for those running in contested races for elected office in the August 18 Primary Election to share information about themselves and their platforms. Each candidate will give a brief introduction, followed by a question and answer period.

The July 22 Sheridan forum will take place at the WYO Theater at 6:30 pm and will host candidates for state, county and city races. The audience will be limited to 50 people. The forum will also be livestreamed on the Chamber’s YouTube Channel. Registration for the forum is required by 5 pm Monday, July 20, for in-person attendance. Availability is on a first-come, first-served basis, and registrants will be assigned seats upon arrival at the WYO Theater. Due to the WYO Theater’s COVID-19 requirements, the Chamber cannot accommodate those who do not register in advance. The use of face masks is encouraged and they may be removed once seated. The livestream will be recorded and available following the forum on the Chamber’s YouTube Channel, website and Facebook page.
