Then make your choice. \n6:00 PM at the Spokane Public Library Central Branch\, moderated by Brandon Jones of KREM 2 News. \nRegister Now\n\n\nThe Spokane Candidate Forum 2026 takes place on Wednesday\, October 14\, 2026\, at 6 PM at the Spokane Public Library Central Branch\, hosted by NAACP Spokane. This second forum of the season features candidates for Spokane County Prosecutor and for Congress\, with KREM 2 News anchor Brandon Jones moderating.

Congressional representatives shape federal civil rights enforcement\, voting protections and funding for Eastern Washington communities. Hearing from these candidates directly\, with equal time for each\, lets voters decide for themselves before ballots are due. \nNAACP Spokane is a nonpartisan organization. It does not endorse or oppose any candidate\, and every candidate receives the same time and opportunity to speak. That commitment protects the integrity of the forum and the nonprofit status of the branch\, and it keeps the focus on the candidates’ own answers. \nReserve Your Seat \nRegister with NAACP Spokane so you are seated on time for the Spokane Candidate Forum 2026. \nRegister With NAACP Spokane\nWhat to Expect at the Spokane Candidate Forum\n\nA moderated conversationSpokane County Prosecutor and Congressional candidates answer questions with Brandon Jones of KREM 2 News.\nEqual time for everyoneEvery candidate gets the same opportunity to speak\, and the clock pauses if disruptions occur.\nScreening at the doorExpect a bag check and metal detector screening\, so plan to arrive early.\nYour voice on a cardComment cards are at the check-in table.

That includes wearing clothing or accessories that endorse a candidate. Please keep quiet during answers so every candidate can be heard. If talking\, heckling or shouting disrupts a candidate\, the moderator will stop the forum and pause the clock so that candidates get the same opportunity to speak. \nSafety and police presence \nBecause a sitting member of Congress will attend\, members of the Spokane Police Department will be in the area. Anyone with concerns about safety or police presence should approach a Peacekeeper during the event. \n\nPlan Your Visit\nDo not park in the library lot \nThe lot will close during the event and vehicles can be locked in.

When someone faces discrimination at work\, in housing\, in school or with police\, the branch’s legal redress committee helps them understand their options and connects them to the people who can act. That work depends on a strong network of legal aid\, because most families facing a legal problem cannot afford a private attorney. \nGuest speaker Sybil Hebb is Director of Legislative Advocacy at the Oregon Law Center in Portland\, the statewide nonprofit that provides free civil legal help to low-income Oregonians. She will explain how legal redress works\, what legal aid services can and cannot do\, and how community members can get help or push for stronger protections in Salem. Anyone who has wondered where to turn when they are treated unfairly will leave with practical answers. \nJoin Us on October 21 \nFree and open to everyone. Come to Clear Lake Community Center or join the meeting online. \nJoin Online\nBranch Event Page\nMeet the Candidates for Branch Office\nThe NAACP Eugene-Springfield Branch 1119 holds its officer election on November 19\, and this meeting is where members first hear from the people running.
