SEYMOUR residents and surrounding communities have been invited for a meet-the-candidates forum ahead of this month’s state election by The Seymour We Want, with candidates from the Euroa district all invited.
The forum will be held on Thursday night at the Seymour VRI Hall on the corner of Anzac Avenue and Goulburn Street from 7.30 to 9.30pm.
At the moment, confirmed invitees include The Nationals’ State Member for Euroa Annabelle Cleeland, Australian Greens candidate Alysia Regan, the Animal Justice Party’s Krina Kelly, One Nation’s Steve Campbell and Victorian Socialists’ Zoe Lyle. It is also expected that newly announced Labor candidate Julian Kelly will also be invited.
The forward gives members the chance to hear from candidates for the Legislative Assembly in the Lower House, who will talk about their stance on issues affecting the electorate.
In a press release, The Seymour We Want said it would be a respectful night.
“Our MC for the night will create a calm, respectful and informative atmosphere in which
candidates will be invited to explain why they are seeking the community’s vote, answer
questions submitted by local residents and mingle with attendees over supper,” they said.
Questions will not be taken on the night, with the community required to submit questions via slido.com on the night.
