Candidate Forums
Our first two Forums, for the Oak Park Village Clerk and Village President, were a smashing success with over 300 viewers. Thanks to the Oak Park Library staff, Rashmi Swain and Bridget Optholt, for their stellar techno skills. Our next two Forums will be the OPRF HS District 200 School Board on Saturday, February 20 at 2:00pm, and the Oak Park Village Trustee Forum on Monday, February 22 at 7:00pm. You can submit forum questions in advance here for D200 and sign up for Zoom viewing here. Go here to submit questions for the Oak Park Trustees and here to sign up for Zoom viewing. Please share this information with family and friends. You can print out a schedule to post here. If they can't watch/participate on the day of a forum, forums will all be recorded and posted on our website afterward. No excuses not to stay informed!
