The Ward Eight Democrats would like to invite you to participate in two (2) upcoming Candidates Endorsement Forums. Both forums will be held at The Imagine Southeast Public Charter School (old Congress School) located at 3100 Martin Luther King Avenue SE, Washington, DC. The forums will begin promptly at 12PM.

On Saturday, February 18 we will be conducting our Election Year 2012 Candidate's Endorsement Forum for positions of At-large Member of DC City Council and US Shadow Representative. Please note that although the positions for Delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives (Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton) and U.S. Shadow Representative (Nate Bennett-Fleming) are unopposed each candidate has been invited to briefly address the audience.

On Saturday, March 17 we will be conducting our Election Year 2012 Candidate's Endorsement Forum for position of Ward 8 Member of the DC City Council.
