SOCAN’s 2024 Candidate Forum

Since our establishment 12 years ago, SOCAN has offered a candidate forum for candidates for office on the subject of Climate and the Environment.’ These events serve our mission to provide candidates and constituents an opportunity to discuss issues falling under this heading and promote a better-informed electorate. This year is no exception. The forum will occur from 6:00 – 8:00 pm at the Medford Public Library on October 8^th.

Candidates for the following races will be attending: Jackson County Board of Commissioners; Oregon House Districts 4, 5, and 6; Oregon Senate District 2; Oregon Congressional District 2. All candidates in these races have been invited, though we know that all will not appear. In order to provide audience members with greater involvement than previously, we are restricting the SOCAN questioning to 1 question, and opening the remainder of the time for audience questions on the subject. These questions will be submitted ahead of time to [email protected]. Please submit questions by 5:00 pm October 7^th.  We will also provide cards at the event for those joining us to submit a question. Questions may be general for all candidates or target a particular race or candidate. All questions will be vetted by a SOCAN panel for relevance to the topic, repetition and clarity. For more information, visit https://socan.eco/event/socan-candidate-forum/. The forum will be followed by a 30-minute informal meet ‘n’ greet opportunity when constituents can continue conversations with candidates.
