(EVANSVILLE, Indiana) October 08, 2022 – Southwestern Indiana Women of Action is hosting a Candidate Forum, featuring several candidates from Vanderburgh and Warrick counties. The event will take place on Thursday, October 13, 2022, at CK Newsome Center, located at 100 E Walnut St #1, Evansville, Indiana.

Additional candidates may be added. For more information, visit the event’s Facebook page.

President Stephanie Gerhardt shared more about both the organization and the event itself. “We are extremely excited to bring this event to the community. Voting in our local elections is one of the most important things the citizens of our communities can do. However, we realize that it can be difficult to find information about candidates at the local level.” Gerhardt added, “That is one of many reasons we decided to form the Southwestern Indiana Women of Action, and why events like this Candidate Forum are at the heart of our organization.”

The event is expected to be value-packed with several candidates attending. The audience is encouraged to bring questions to ask candidates during a portion of the event. Candidates may choose to bring materials to share with the audience. Additional information will also be available about how to join the Southwestern Indiana Women of Action group.
