Candidate Forums

2026 Primary Election Candidate Forums -- Recordings Available Below

Our nonpartisan forums are your chance to hear candidates' views on important issues before you cast your vote in the August 4 primary election.

 We held a forum for the Island County assessor, auditor and clerk positions on July 9, and for Legislative District 10 state representatives, Island County commissioner and sheriff positions on July 16.

Our forums were held online on Zoom. This lets us reach more Whidbey voters across the island, and it means our events can be recorded and shared afterward for anyone to watch.

We're always looking for volunteers to help plan and run these events — research, question development, moderation support, tech help, and follow-up. If you're interested, contact Forum Committee Chair Carla Grau-Egerton at lwv.whidbey@gmail.com.
