Each candidate, in ballot order, will have up to 3 minutes for an opening statement. Following, there will be a series of questions presented by the moderator. Following the questions, each candidate will be given up to 3 minutes for a closing statement.
Questions may be submitted before the event. The committee for the event will approve all questions to ensure it is a fair and balanced forum. We will also provide notecards at the event to be given to the committee. All questions should be submitted to Chris Bunting at the Farm Bureau at livcfbmgr@gmail.com or (815) 842-1103.
