Candidates for Pierce County Council District 4 are Connie Ladenburg and Ken J. Grassi. Legislative District 28 is represented by two State Representative positions: Eric Choiniere and Steve O'Ban are vying for State Rep.

Citizens are encouraged to attend and provide their questions during the forum to the League of Women Voters, who will be moderating the evening’s event. Candidates will also present opening and closing statements as well as answer a few questions specific to University Place.
 
This forum will be taped for University Place Television (UPTV) so that citizens who are not able to attend have an opportunity to watch it later.
