Dear , I encourage you to attend the FCRC Chairman Candidate Forum that will take place as follows:
Date: Saturday, February 10
Time: 1:00 – 3:00 PM (Doors open at 12:00 PM)
Place: St. Albans Church, 6800 Columbia Pike, Annandale
General Event Structure: see description from the debate sponsor below
The Republican Women’s Clubs of Northern Virginia are sponsoring the event.
Shortly after the forum, starting at 3:15 PM, I will be hosting a reception about a mile away at Magill’s Restaurant, 7201 Little River Turnpike, Annandale, VA 22003. The reception will give you an opportunity to meet with me and follow up on any points raised during the forum. We will offer a light buffet and beverages. The restaurant offers plentiful parking. Please come and share your ideas on how we can transform the Fairfax County Republican Committee into an effective, professional organization that will drive Republican wins in upcoming elections.
General Forum Structure
A hybrid debate format has been chosen where candidates are asked questions in rotation, given a limited time to answer questions, and limited opportunities for rebuttal before the next round of questions
Candidates will each be given three red cards. Each of the three red cards may be used when a candidate wishes to reply to another candidate’s comments. When a red card is used, the candidate will be given 60 seconds to make their comments. Once a candidate has used all three cards, NO other right-of-reply opportunities will be given to that candidate.
The candidate order in answering questions will alternate throughout the course of the debate so that no one candidate has an advantage or disadvantage
