Voters can learn a great deal about a candidate's knowledge, intentions, and character when they meet in person. The candidate’s presence at this event also indicates a willingness to meet with northern Nevada constituents openly and transparently.
Every General Election, Sierra Nevada Forums hosts free, live candidate interviews. This provides an opportunity for candidates to personally introduce themselves to the community by answering questions from our team and from our attendees. Each question is directed to both candidates, and each candidate must answer the same question.
