Three of the gubernatorial candidates take the stage in front of a full house at the September 19th Forum. Candidate Bill Lee chose not to attend.

Nearly 300 people attended the Gubernatorial Forum at the Bernard and Ruth Siegel Jewish Community Center on Tuesday evening August 19th. With over 60 people standing the 1.5 hour program was well received. Unfortunately the pod casting process was not successful.

Candidate Jack Markell, center, answers question as Mike Protack (left) and John Carney (right) prepare their answers.

Before the program began at the Jewish Community Center, Forum co-sponsors met with attendees.
