The Council of Fort Lauderdale Civic Associations will host a District 1 Candidates Forum on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, beginning at 6:00 p.m. The forum will be held at the Fort Lauderdale Beach Community Center, 3351 NE 33rd Ave.

Allison Meyers, President of the Broward League of Women Voters, will serve as moderator.

Residents are encouraged to submit questions for the candidates in advance. Candidates will not receive the questions prior to the forum. While every question will be reviewed, time constraints may prevent all submissions from being asked. Questions will be prioritized to provide a balanced and informative discussion.

This forum is designed specifically for the three candidates running in the District 1 Special Election. Please limit your questions to District 1 issues rather than citywide topics.
