Candidate Meet & Greets

These meet and greets will be an unmoderated opportunity for candidates to talk with voters in a relaxed environment. We do not believe that a "sit down forum" can do justice to the issues and we don't want to limit the public opportunity to talk with each candidate.

You are welcome to attend one, or both events as we know that with scheduling conflicts not all candidates will be able to attend both.

The South Kitsap Chamber of Commerce does not endorse candidates. We encourage our members and the community to be informed voters. Our goal is to provide information that can be used in making informed decisions.
