Forums are being offered for people in Albany County and the city of Laramie to meet primary election candidates for contested races and ask them questions. The League of Women Voters of Laramie and the Albany County Public Library are hosting three candidate forums this month to help inform the public about those running in the primary election. All the forums will be held at the library located at 310 South Eighth Street.
