"Meet the Candidates" State Legislators District 9 & 9A

Please join us for a "Meet the Candidates" forum for MN State Legislative District 9 & 9A at the Fergus Falls Public Library Jean Dahling room on Thursday, October 6th at 4:30pm.

The Chamber serves as the lead advocate and resource for our 350+ members and we create partnerships that foster a healthy business climate. This forum will focus on business-related issues that affect our region. Questions will be developed by the Chamber and each candidate will get equal time to respond, however this is not a debate-style event. Dave Bishop with Leighton Broadcasting and a member of the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, will moderate. Questions will not be taken from the audience. The following candidates have been invited:
House of Representative District 9A:
Nancy Jost (DFL)
Jeff Backer (R)
Senate District 9:
Jordan Rasmusson (R)
Cornel Walker (DFL)

This event is free and open to the public. It will be broadcast on PEG Access, PRTV, Leighton Broadcasting and the Fergus Falls Chamber's YouTube channel following the event.
