Michigan voters are invited to hear from candidates seeking a seat on the Michigan Supreme Court on Wednesday, September 21, during a virtual candidate forum hosted by the League of Women Voters of Michigan and the Jewish Bar Association of Michigan.
“A fundamental mission of the League is to help ensure every person has the desire, the right, the knowledge and the confidence to participate in our democracy,” said Paula Bowman, co-president of the League of Women Voters of Michigan. “We’re proud to hold events like this to inform voters about the candidates who will be on their ballot in the upcoming election.”
The virtual forum will take place at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, September 21, via Zoom. The event will also be livestreamed on the League of Women Voters of Michigan’s Facebook page and uploaded to YouTube following the event. Attendees will hear from all Michigan Supreme Court candidates, including:
Richard Bernstein
