A WECA sponsored Candidates Debate will be held on October 8, 2009, at the Rockville Senior Center, 1150 Carnation Drive. This forum will be televised on Rockville Channel 11, the City's cable TV station, and will start at 7 p.m. promptly.

WECA members are encouraged to submit questions in advance by emailing to forum@weca.us, as this gives WECA members an opportunity to carefully consider good questions. Questions can also be submitted at the debate.
