The Washington County Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with its Government Affairs Committee and the League of Women Voters of Washington County, is set to host a series of “Decision ’26” Election Forums. These events aim to provide residents with a comprehensive understanding of where candidates stand on key issues as the 2026 General Election approaches. The forums will cover a range of elected positions, offering voters direct opportunities to engage with individuals seeking to represent them.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The “Decision ’26” series will commence on October 7th with a forum focused on candidates for the Board of Education. This will be followed by a Sheriff Forum on October 9th, which will take place at HCC in CPB Rooms 211 & 213. Subsequent forums will include discussions with candidates for County Commissioner on October 14th, and candidates for the House of Delegates and State Senate on October 21st. The series will conclude on October 28th with a forum for candidates vying for the Maryland 6th Congressional District seat. All five events are scheduled to run from 6:30 AM to 9:00 AM. With the exception of the Sheriff Forum, all other “Decision ’26” forums will be held at Leiters’ Fine Catering.
Residents interested in attending these informative sessions are encouraged to register in advance. This initiative by the Washington County Chamber of Commerce, supported by the League of Women Voters of Washington County, underscores a commitment to fostering an informed electorate. The forums are made possible through the sponsorship of Jamison Door Company, and printing services are provided by Complete Document Solutions. These events are designed to empower voters with the knowledge needed to make informed decisions at the ballot box, contributing to a more engaged and representative democracy within Washington County.
