The News-Gazette announced local candidate forums this upcoming week on Monday (2/12) and Wednesday (2/14) nights.

Candidate forums set next week in 6 local primary races
Candidates in six local primary elections will meet in forums next week at the Champaign City Building.

The forums are co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Champaign County, the NAACP and The News-Gazette. They'll be moderated by members of the League of Women Voters and governed by the traditional rules of League forums.
