SUMMARY:2026 Candidate Forum: Texas State Legislature
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Zoom to hear from the candidates for the Texas House and Texas Senate appearing on the November ballot. \nThis candidate showcase gives each participant the opportunity to introduce themselves\, share their qualifications\, and discuss the priorities they would bring to office. To ensure a professional and informative event\, candidates must focus solely on their own campaign. Any candidate who references or attacks an opponent will forfeit the remainder of their allotted time. \nCandidates will speak in ballot order\, beginning with an opening statement\, followed by questions presented in a randomized order from a predetermined list. Candidate speaking time will be determined based on the number of confirmed participants.
