On March 12, 2020, Central Oregon Community College will be hosting a Republican Candidates Forum for the Second Congressional District of Oregon.

The event is not only hosted but also organized by COCC students.  These students are from the Redmond campus’ course Introduction to US Government and Politics.  The forum is meant to encourage students to get involved in local and national politics.

Audience participtation is encouraged.  The suggestion is to write a question on a notecard and if it is relevant it will get asked to the students running the event.

The event will take place on COCC’s main campus in Hitchcock Auditorium, located in Pioneer Hall, from 5-6:30 pm.  The closest parking will be North of Pioneer Hall or behind Cascades Hall.

The forum’s guest speakers are Jason Atkinson, Cliff Bentz, Knute Buchler, David Campbell, Jimmy Crumpacker, Kenneth Madenbach, Mark Roberts, and Jeff Smith.
