Questions must be written and will be reviewed by a League panel to ensure they are compliant with the forum guidelines: (1) Only issue-oriented questions are allowed. (2) No personal, redundant, or derogatory questions will be accepted. (3) Questions or challenges by one candidate directed toward another are not allowed.

The forum is 6:30 PM on April 19 (a Monday) in the Council Chambers of the Municipal Center, at 1930 South Germantown Road.
