The three Democratic candidates — Nancy Adams, Greg Lembrich and Jerry Ryan — have all committed to attending. Republican candidate Phyllis Scalera, who is running unopposed, has declined the invitation to participate, but will be in attendance.
The forum will include a short period to socialize with the candidates one on one, followed by a Q&A period where the candidates will answer prepared questions, followed by questions from the audience.

And, just in case you miss the first forum, you’ll have another chance on Thursday, May 21, when the Hilton Neighborhood Association sponsors a Candidates Forum for the three Democratic candidates at DeHart Community Center, 120 Burnett Ave. The meeting is free and open to the public.
The candidates will respond to questions they receive prior to the meeting, followed by a question and answer session.
