Moderating the forum will be Dr. Stephen Farnsworth, of the University of Mary Washington’s College of Arts and Sciences.
The program portion of the forum, which starts at 7:45 p.m., is free and open to the public.
“We wanted to hear from all the candidates registered to learn why they wanted to run,” added Kooyoomjian.
