The Billings Chamber of Commerce will host a series of Coffee with Candidates forums in September from 8-9 a.m. in partnership with, and hosted at, the Billings Association of Realtors with candidates for state legislature from selected races.

The schedule of Coffee with Candidates forums is:

• September 17 Senate District 24 – Mark Nicholson and Mike Yakawich

• September 19 House District 45 – Denise Baum and Kassidy Olson

• September 26 House District 48 – Anne Ross and Curtis Schomer

Dan Brooks, business advocacy director said, “We believe it’s important to bring candidates and members together, not just to answer policy questions, but to connect with each other.   Each Coffee with Candidates forum will feature a moderated question and answer segment with time reserved for questions from the audience. Election ballots are anticipated to be mailed as early as Oct. 11.

Each Coffee with Candidates forum is free to attend and open to anyone interested in meeting the candidates for state legislature running this election cycle.

Billings Association of Realtors is located at 2021 Overland Avenue. RSVP’s are requested for planning purposes as complimentary coffee and light breakfast items will be available. Register at Billings Chamber. com.
