Mee the Candidates Night

This event is primarily aimed at voters in Sterling but may be of interest to those who live in Herndon and the rest of the 86th house district.

This community event is a free "open house" so that people can come and go, and meet the candidates in a relaxed, informal, and non-partisan atmosphere. Light refreshments will be served by the Sterling Foundation. Volunteers from the Park View High School Key Club will assist in hosting the event.

The Sterling Foundation, Inc., an all-volunteer, non-partisan, non-profit organization, has invited all candidates who are on the November ballot in the Sterling District to participate in this event. (Several of the candidates will be on the ballot county-wide.)
