The League of Women Voters of Grosse Pointe partnered with the League of Women Voters of Detroit to conduct a private candidate forum for the Michigan House of Representatives, 13th District, on Tuesday, July 9. The forum was moderated by Rhonda Craig, LWV Detroit Secretary, and featured the following candidates:
- Martell D. Bivings, R
- Shakira Lynn Hawkins, D
- Shri Thanedar, D
- Mary Waters, D
This forum was not open to the public. The session was recorded and can now be viewed on the LWVGP YouTube channel and the LWVDetroit Candidate Forums 2024 webpage.
The League encouraged the public to submit questions for the candidates. Due to time constraints, the League prioritized or combined questions based on general interest and to avoid redundancy.
Non-partisan candidate forums are part of LWV history. Leagues nationwide continue to hold debates and forums for local and state offices.
Voters can find information about any candidate on the League of Women Voters non-partisan Voter Guide at Vote411.org as of June 27.
