GMUBuzz: Mason Things That Catch My Eye

  Media Advisory

Democratic Candidates Forum at George Mason University, May 5, 7 p.m.

George Mason University will host a Candidates Forum for the Democratic nomination for the 8^th District Congressional Seat on Monday, May 5 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Founders Hall at the university’s Arlington Campus.

This is an exclusive opportunity to hear the invited candidates—10 of them at last count—in a moderated question-and-answer format addressing the international, national and local issues they will encounter should they win the office held now by Rep. Jim Moran, who has announced his retirement at the end of this session.

The candidates have been advised there will be an opportunity following the forum for questions from the media in attendance.

Members of the media are advised to reserve a seat as soon as possible as space is limited; the media contact is Buzz McClain, bmcclai2@gmu.edu, 703-727-0230.

As of now there are no plans to stream or broadcast the forum.

The event is hosted by George Mason’s School of Public Policy and the university’s Center for State and Local Government Leadership. Founders Hall at the Arlington Campus is located at 3351 Fairfax Drive, Arlington.
