The candidates attending the forum are Daniel Biss, Bob Daiber, Tio Hardiman, and, representing J.B.Pritzker, Lieutenant Gubernatorial Candidate, Juliana Stratton. We have also invited Chris Kennedy.

We want to host this event because it will provide an opportunity for the candidates to address the concerns of voters outside of Chicagoland in the rust belt of western Illinois. Since President Trump was elected, Democrats have said that they want to focus more of their attention on the American rust belt, which has been radically altered by globalization. Additionally, Democrats have expressed their eagerness to address the concerns of young voters, especially college students. Therefore, the questions that will be answered at the forum will come from Galesburg area residents and Knox College students.
