Candidates for the 4th Congressional District will participate in a Q&A event Saturday hosted by Sunflower Community Action.
The organization says all three candidates have been invited; so far Democratic candidate, James Thompson and Libertarian Chris Rockhold have confirmed. Republican Ron Estes has not. The event starts at 11:30 at Sunflower Community Action, 1751 N. Ash.
Next Thursday, March 16, the League of Women Voters Wichita Metro Chapter and Women for Kansas are partnering to host a forum at Friends University with candidates and a panel.
Lisa Vayda, a member of both groups, says attendees can submit questions via email, Facebook or at the event for candidates to answer.
“I hope they will give us some specifics of what they feel like they can do to represent this 4th Congressional district well and to represent the constituents," she says.
Again, only Thompson and Rockhold have confirmed their attendance. Reportedly, all three candidates will participate in a televised debate later this month on KWCH.
The special election to fill the seat vacated by new CIA director Mike Pompeo takes place on April 11.
