Who's on your November ballot, and where do they stand?

On Monday, Oct. 5, the Northeast Neighborhood Coalition is hosting a Candidates' Forum at the Don Bosco Community Center, and Community Capital Fund is proud to support it. Strong neighborhoods are built by residents who show up, ask questions, and make their voices heard. This forum brings those conversations right into the community.

Bring your questions and your neighbors. Voter registration will be available on site, and Spanish translation is provided.

The forum is set for Monday, Oct. 5, 4:30–7:30 PM at the Don Bosco Community Center.
