On June 9, 10 & 11 our local citizens met the 28th & 29th Legislative District State Representative, 29th State Senator, Pierce County Auditor, and 10th Congressional District Candidates who are vying for your vote on August 2, 2022.
The Lakewood Chamber of Commerce hosted the forum to ensure our candidates had a voice and a time to meet their constituents. Our moderators presented the candidates with questions relevant to the citizens’ concerns and to the job they are seeking. Their opening and closing statements and solid responses greatly helped to establish them and their commitment to serving the citizens of their congressional, legislative, and county districts.
While the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce does not endorse candidates, we wanted to provide our citizens the opportunity to meet their candidates and listen to their priorities. We thank the following candidates for stepping up to run and participate in our candidate forums:
