Hometown Forum is not just the name of this event, it expresses the spirit of the event. That’s why the questions for the candidates will come from Santa Monica residents as well as local groups and organizations. The Mirror continues to welcome questions from anyone, which can be submitted via e-mail to election@smmirror.com or in person at the forum. Please include your full name and address when submitting questions.
At the forum each candidate will be given an equal, but limited, response time for each question asked. However, not all candidates will respond to all the questions. Candidates will be randomly organized into groups and each group will be asked different sets of questions.
We have put much thought into making the Forum as fair and unbiased as possible. We have no agenda nor will we favor any candidate over another. Our goal is for this to be structured and informational – to be meaningful, but not mean.
