Local Election Candidates Forum

All the candidates for local Newberg/Dundee area office in the upcoming May elections will have a chance to make their case to voters at a Candidates Forum on the evening of May 7 at the Chehalem Cultural Center, 415 East Sheridan Street in Newberg. 

All four candidates for the Newberg School Board, including both David Russ and Andy Byerley who are running from Zone 1 (Dundee) in the only contested school board race this year, will be invited to answer questions in the school board forum, which starts at 5:30.  All five candidates for three seats on the Chehalem Parks and Recreation Board will be invited to answer questions starting at 7:00. 

The public is invited to both forum sessions, which will be held in the new LaJoie Theater at the Cultural Center. 

The forums are co-sponsored by four non-partisan groups: the Chehalem Valley Chamber of Commerce, the Newberg City Club, the Newberg/Dundee United as Neighbors, and the George Fox University Civility Project.
