Get “Face to Face” With Seattle Candidates Next Tuesday

The GSBA’s FACE TO FACE candidate forum is Seattle’s LGBTQ community’s chance to ask the questions it needs to ask the candidates in local elections and it’s happening this coming Tuesday, September 10th at Broadway Performance Hall on the Seattle Central College campus (corner of Broadway & Pike Street).

Candidates for 4 of the races for Seattle City Council are scheduled to attend including the pair running to represent District 3 which includes Capitol Hill itself, the city’s longtime LGBTQ neighborhood, incumbent Kshama Sawant and her challenger, Seattle PrideFest producer Egan Orion.

The event is happening from 5pm to 7:30pm and it is free to the public but you are encouraged to register beforehand. Go HERE to do that.
