The Lamond-Riggs Citizens Association (LRCA) and the North Michigan Park Civic Association (NMPCA) did a great job of hosting two candidate forums for the upcoming primary election earlier this week .

The Ward 5 DC Council candidate forum was held on May 10, 2022. Participating candidates: Kathy Henderson, Gordon Fletcher, Zachary Parker, Faith Gibson Hubbard, Vincent Orange.

The DC Mayor candidate forum was held on May 9, 2022. Participating candidates: James Butler, Mayor Muriel Bowser, At-large Councilmember Robert White. Mayor Bowser did let the associations know ahead of time that due to a prior commitment, she would be late. She arrived about 44 minutes into the forum.

Links to view the forums are below.
