Event Details

The Wilton League of Women Voters, Wilton Library, and GOOD Morning Wilton will cosponsor two candidate debates between Savet Constantine (D) and Kim Healy (R) - 42nd House District; and Kami Evans (R) and Ceci Maher (D) - 26th Senate District on Tuesday, October 8.

The Constantine/Healy debate will start at 7 p.m., for approximately one hour, and the Evans/Maher debate will follow after a short break. Approximately 60 minutes will be allotted to constituent questions in both debates. Both events will follow a Cumulative Time Format and be moderated by a League of Women Voters-certified, out-of-town moderator who will present questions submitted by the public in written form. The debates will be live-streamed on GOOD Morning Wilton's website from the Brubeck Room. In addition, the debates will be recorded for later viewing at GOODMorningWilton.com, and www.wiltonlibrary.org.

The sessions will provide community members an opportunity to hear from the candidates who seek to serve and make critical decisions facing the town in the coming years; and to pose questions to them that will highlight their goals and priorities. Questions for the candidates may be submitted in advance through the Wilton League of Women Voters at wiltonlwv@gmail.com no later than Monday, October 7 at 7 p.m. We will also accept written questions from the audience in the Brubeck Room.

Guidelines for submitting questions: 

  • anonymous emails will not be accepted
  • only one question can be submitted per email
  • all questions must be applicable to all candidates and pertinent to local issues
  • questions targeted at one specific candidate will not be accepted
  • all questions will be screened for legibility, duplication and may be combined or condensed
  • all audience questions are subject to the same rules and must be submitted in writing
