Cost: Your donation of $2 will help cover the cost of the event, but no attendees turned away
Moderator: The Honorable Senator Ken Gordon, renowned for fair, open, and courageous leadership in Colorado.
Format:
Each campaign will assign a candidate speaker. Each candidate will be represented by one proxy speaker (and one alternate, in case there is some area of the candidate platform that can be better presented by another speaker). ALL candidates who are duly certified (and have not yet withdrawn) as presidential candidates will have the opportunity for proxy prepresentation.
Each candidate campaign will have 3 minutes to present an overview of their platform. Subsequently, each candidate campaign will speak 2 minutes regarding their candidate's position on selected topics, then the next topic will be opened. At the conclusion, each campaign will have 3
minutes to sum up. The forum will then be open to questions, with 1 minute response limits for candidate representatives.
The forum will be opened and closed with a straw poll.
