The Town of Herndon -Town Council Candidate Forum

Hosted by Cornerstones and St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church

The Town of Herndon Candidate Forum, hosted by Cornerstones in partnership with the Dulles Regional Chamber of Commerce and the League of Women Voters of Fairfax, is a nonpartisan opportunity for residents to hear directly from candidates running for Town Council, learn where they stand on key community issues, and make informed decisions before the November 3 election. The forum also aims to encourage civic engagement and voter participation by connecting residents with election information and Get Out the Vote resources.

Thank you for joining us for this important community conversation and taking part in an evening of civic engagement, thoughtful dialogue, and connection!
