League of Women Voters of Kitsap

We’ve had a great season of candidate forums during this election year, with 60 to 80 people attending most of our events. But the Oct. 12 forum for contested county races was the best yet. We had a standing-room-only crowd of more than 120 people at the Norm Dicks Center in Bremerton. The crowd submitted questions and watched as the following candidates squared off: Josh Brown and Abby Burlingame for county commissioner, Russ Hauge and Bruce Danielson for prosecutor, Greg Sandstrom and Pete Favazza for coroner and John Armstrong and Linda Gabriel for PUD commissioner.
If you missed it, you can catch it on BKAT at the following times:
Oct. 14, 8 p.m.; Oct. 15, 1 p.m.; Oct. 17, 7 p.m.; Oct. 18, 10 p.m.
And don’t miss our final forum before ballots go out later this week:
