Southwest Washington voters will have an opportunity to attend a candidate fair to hear from candidates on the ballot of the Nov. 5 general election.

“We are really hoping people who are undecided or on the fence would come,’’ St. John told Clark County Today. “The goal is to get as much good information about the candidates out to the public as possible.’’
In promotion of the event, organizers stated that “our state and nation are at stake. We need all hands on deck. Join us for a night hearing from the candidates, get to know their policies and find out how YOU can help win Washington!”
