Every year the Harlingen Area Chamber holds a Candidate Forum prior to elections. The purpose of the forum is to give candidates vying office an opportunity to present their views on business-related issues affecting our community. All candidates are invited to participate, and none will be given preferential treatment. The format and questions are developed by a committee of the Chamber, and the moderator will be unbiased and familiar with current issues. This event is free and open to the public.
