Southwest Washington voters will have an opportunity to attend a candidate fair to hear from candidates on the ballot of the Nov. 5 general election.

In promotion of the event, organizers stated that “our state and nation are at stake. We need all hands on deck. Join us for a night hearing from the candidates, get to know their policies and find out how YOU can help win Washington!”
