The Santa Monica Daily Press will host a candidate forum tonight at the Thelma Terry Building in Virginia Ave Park, and will include information from both sides of the Proposition 10 debate.
The Daily Press forums have evolved over the years and for the 2018 election, there will be individual events rather than a single joint debate. Daily Press staff will craft questions for each race and the audience is invited to submit questions during the event for consideration.
The public is invited to attend.
All candidates in all races have been invited to participate.
The format for all three events will be similar. After an introduction, candidates will make opening statements. That will be followed by questions from moderators. Some questions will go to all candidates, some to a subset and some to an individual candidate. Audience questions will also be gathered during the event for possible inclusion at the end of the night.
Candidates are not provided with forum questions ahead of time. However, the paper does solicit written answers from all candidates in all races for published profiles that are running throughout October.
