The forums will be moderated, timed question and answer sessions, not debates.  The questions will focus on a range of children's issues including foster care, early childhood education, special education, supports for working families such as child care subsidies, and comprehensive health care for all children. 

After the forum, candidates will have the opportunity to meet audience members and answer additional questions one-to-one. Please come hear from candidates in your area and share your priorities on children's issues!  If you have any questions, please contact Mary Dunne Stewart at mds@vakids.org.
