The Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership at the University of Virginia will host an Issues Forum with the three candidates vying for the Democratic nomination for governor in the June 9 primary: Creigh Deeds, Brian Moran, and Terry McAuliffe.
This event will be held in Danville on Tuesday evening April 28 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research.
The event will be moderated by me and by former Danville Mayor Linwood Wright.
WVTF Public Radio in Roanoke, Blacksburg and Charlottesville is actively exploring the possibility of a live broadcast of the forum. A full podcast will be made available on the Sorensen Newsroom http://www.sorenseninstitute.org following the event.
This issues forum will be free and open to the public. It will be co-sponsored by the Danville Register & Bee.
GOP gubernatorial candidate Bob McDonnell was invited but declined the Danville event with the three Democrats but is invited to appear at a separate Sorensen event in May, also in Danville.
In addition to the gubernatorial event on April 28, all four candidates for lieutenant governor in the June 9 primary have agreed to a forum at the University of VIrginia on Sunday, March 29.
Democrats Jody Wagner, Michael Signer, Pat Edmonson and Jon Bowerbank will appear at the forum in Clark Hall from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Sunday, which I will moderate for the University of Virginia Young Democrats.
The YD forum is free and open to the public.
