A WECA sponsored Candidates Forum for the upcoming City of Rockville elections will be held on Thursday, October 27th, 2011, at Rockville City Hall, 111 Maryland Avenue. This forum will be televised live on Rockville Channel 11, the City's cable station, and will start promptly at 7:00 pm.
WECA members are encouraged to submit questions in advance by e-mail to forum@weca.us, as this gives WECA and the forum moderator an opportunity to carefully consider good questions. Questions may also be submitted at the debate.
