On Wednesday, March 19, members of the Austin Lesbian/Gay Political Caucus will gather to hear presentations from candidates seeking the endorsement of the Caucus for the May City Council
election. In seeking an endorsement, candidates are required to answer a questionnaire on subjects of interest to our community. Copies of the candidates' answers will be available the evening of
the Forum.

During the Forum portion of the meeting, each candidate will be allowed time for remarks, followed by questions from ALGPC members. At the conclusion of the Forum, the membership will
vote on endorsements in each race in which a candidate has sought an endorsement.

In order to vote, you must be a current, dues-paid member of ALGPC and must have been so at least thirty days before the meeting. If you are a previous ALGPC member and your membership has expired, you may make your membership current on the evening of the Endorsement Meeting.

The Candidate Forum and Endorsement Meeting will begin at 6:30 PM on Wednesday, March 19 in the County Commissioner Court Room, located in the Granger Bldg. at 314 W. 11th Street. The Granger Bldg.
is at the northeast corner of 11th and Guadalupe St., across from the County Courthouse.
