The Champaign Tea Party will host two candidate forums prior to elections.

Local candidates for state senator and representative offices and the U.S. Congressional office will be included in the forum on Oct. 24.

Candidates for Champaign County Board and other county offices will be included in the Oct. 31 forum.

Both forums will start at 1:30 p.m. at the Urbana Civic Center on their respective dates.

An informal discussion will follow each forum to give voters the opportunity to meet the candidates.
