LEWISTON — The Lewiston Auburn Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce will hold a gubernatorial candidate forum from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Monday, Sept. 10, at the Ramada Conference Center, 490 Pleasant St.
Candidates confirmed to be in attendance are Alan Caron (independent), Terry Hayes (independent), Janet Mills (Democrat) and Shawn Moody (Republican). The reception is from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m.; forum from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.
Workforce development is the most critical issue facing the members of the Lewiston Auburn Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and our region. The chamber has identified four focus areas to grow our workforce — engage and retain our youth; attract new residents; support immigration; and invest in the underutilized workforce. The candidates will respond to four questions about their plans, as governor, to support Maine’s second largest economy in workforce development. One final question will be selected from index cards submitted by the audience during the forum.
Rebecca Swanson Conrad, chamber president and CEO, will serve as moderator, and Maureen Aube, chamber vice president and CFO, will serve as time keeper.
