Seattle, WA — The Leagues of Women Voters of Washington and Snohomish County are pleased to present the candidates for Insurance Commissioner and for Secretary of State in debates on October 1. Doors open at 6:00 pm. The Insurance Commissioner debate will begin at 6:30. The Secretary of State debate will follow immediately at 7:15 p.m.

These debates will be held at Edmonds College Black Box Theater in Lynnwood, WA. They will be in person and will be recorded and live streamed by TVW. The public is invited to attend.

Both debates offer voters a chance to ask the candidates questions and hear their answers regarding how they would do the job of Insurance Commissioner and Secretary of State. Voters can submit questions for the candidates in advance by emailing forumquestions@lwvwa.org.

“The public is invited to attend and hear directly from the candidates on these important races,” said LWVWA President Mary Coltrane. “The League of Women Voters welcomes questions from the public so their concerns are part of the candidate selection process we call democracy.”

Cathy Liu Scott, President of the LWV of Snohomish County, added “The League thanks these candidates for their participation. Voters deserve to hear first-hand from those who seek to represent us. These statewide offices hold critical responsibilities—for our elections and our overall health. We look forward to a substantive debate and informative evening. Please join us!”

The public is invited to attend the in-person forum. TVW will also stream the forum on its website at tvw.org. After the event, voters will find the forum posted on www.lwvwa.org and tvw.org.
