CANDIDATE FORUM – DISTRICT 16 HOUSE OF DELEGATES  

CANDIDATE FORUM – DISTRICT 16
HOUSE OF DELEGATES

WHEN: WEDNESDAY, JULY 21^ST  --  7-9 PM

      WHERE: BETHESDA PUBLIC LIBRARY

                         7400 ARLINGTON ROAD

The District 16 Democratic Club invites you to attend a candidate forum on Wednesday, July 21st, from 7-9 PM.  District 16 has three Delegates to the Maryland General Assembly.  Current Delegates Bill Frick and Susan Lee are running for re-election. Bill Bronrott, who had been the third Delegate, resigned to accept an appointment in the Obama Administration, with the result that there are now quite a few non-incumbent candidates who are seeking to represent District 16 in the Maryland House.  The forum will provide an opportunity to listen to the views of the candidates – the non-incumbents as well as the incumbents --  on pressing problems of concern to our community.

The forum will be held at the Bethesda Public Library, and will be moderated by Karen Britto, chair of the Montgomery County Democratic  Central Committee. Ms. Britto was recently appointed to fill the open Delegate seat, but has chosen to serve only for the current term and accordingly is not a candidate.     

Because we expect an unusually large number of candidates, each candidate will have a two minute opening statement and a one minute closing comment.  We encourage questions to the candidates from the public.  But to make best use of the limited time available, we ask that questions be submitted in advance to District 16 Democratic Club President Sue Byrnes at: shbyrnes@yahoo.com

We hope you can attend.  It promises to be an interesting and enlightening forum.
