This free event is a chance for neighbors to connect, share ideas, and get to know the individuals who are stepping up to lead Bethel into the future. Attendees will have the opportunity to speak one-on-one with Democratic candidates for local office, hear their vision for the community, and ask questions about the issues that matter most, from education and infrastructure to fiscal responsibility and inclusive governance.
Appetizers will be served, and a full cash bar will be available. And in a casual environment to spark real conversations, new connections, and a strong sense of community pride.
