Coming September 23: 2026 Election Forums – Part 2

Exercise your right to vote and choose to be informed. Join the BCC to see and hear candidates in person, and decide which candidates best serve you. Democracy is not a spectator sport. You and your vote matter.  The City Club will conduct the following candidate and ballot measure forums at our August, September and October meetings:

Coming September 23:

  • 42nd State Legislative District Representative, Position 2
  • Whatcom County Prosecuting Attorney
  • 42nd State Legislative District Senator

Please purchase tickets online here by September 20, 6:00pm, for the September 23 program.

Coming October 21:

40th State Legislative District Representative, Position 2
Port of Bellingham Positions 4 and 5

In addition, as you may know, 5 out of the 9 Washington Supreme Court Justice positions will be on the ballot. In collaboration with the Whatcom County Bar Association, the City Club will put on a fourth in-person forum for Supreme Court Justice candidates on October 2, and on September 19, the League of Women Voters of Bellingham/Whatcom County will offer a program, “Behind the Black Robes”, to educate the public on what judges do and what makes a good judge.
