NC State Political Science Club Presents "Candidate Forum 2002"

What: The North Carolina State University Political Science Club will present its second candidate forum. These nonpartisan events are held every two years, during Presidential elections and mid-term elections. The forums are true "celebrations of democracy" by young voters, and students invite all candidates on the North Carolina ballot to participate. The forum is designed to provide a platform for candidates to make their cases to the voters, give students an opportunity to meet and speak to candidates in an informal setting, and help college students become informed voters.

Carol D. Bennett (R), N.C. Senate District 14
Darryl Black (R), N.C. House District 35
