Upcoming Candidate Forums

Cowlitz County Democrats Host Two-Night Event

Local elections shape our neighborhoods, schools, public safety, and quality of life. While national races get the spotlight, it's the local offices that often impact us the most—right here, right now.

That’s why the Cowlitz County Democrats are hosting two nights of candidate forums on July 10th and July 11th, 2025. These forums will spotlight candidates in upcoming non-partisan local races, and all candidates were invited to participate.

July 10th will feature:

– Kim Lefebvre

– Oliver Black

– Josh Carter

July 11th will feature:

– Wayne Nichols

– Mike Claxton

– PJ Peterson

Location: Kelso Senior Association, 106 8th Ave NW, Kelso, WA 98626

Time: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM (Doors open at 5:30 PM)

Please note: These events are not open to the public. Each candidate will have time for a Q&A segment.

Stay informed. Stay engaged. Local matters.
