The DeKalb Chamber of Commerce will once again sponsor and host a local Candidates Forum at the Egyptian Theatre in DeKalb on Tuesday evening, September 28, 2010. The event is free and open to the public.
The Egyptian Theatre provides a near perfect setting for such an event that is a well organized moderator/town hall style forum. Candidates likely to appear on the stage include (alphabetical order) John Acardo and Jim Luebke, DeKalb County Clerk & Recorder; Clay Campbell and Sarah Gallagher-Chami, States Attorney; and Tom Doherty and Judge Jordan Gallagher, 16th Circuit Judge. Candidates running for County Board (DeKalb) Districts 06, 07, 08, 09 and 10 will also likely be in attendance. The Chamber invited Randy Hultgren and Congressman Bill Foster, U.S. House of Representatives-District 14 and the U.S. Senate Candidates.
The Kishwaukee College Expansion Referendum and the City of DeKalb Referendum will also be presented. Chamber director, Jim Allen, has invited questions to be asked of the candidates or about the referendums and he will make every attempt to get those questions asked. Please forward questions to Jim Allen.
The event begins at 6pm and is over by 9pm. The first hour is an open meet and greet session that provides for face-to-face conversations with the candidates. Tables are available for a variety of campaign materials. Plenty of free parking is available on the street and in the Van Buer Plaza across the street from the Egyptian Theatre.
