Meet the 11th Legislative District Candidates and Ask Environmental Questions

Clean Ocean Action (COA), Food and Water Watch New Jersey and the Red Bank Environmental Commission will be hosting a 11th Legislative District Coastal Candidates Environmental Forum on Monday, October 7. The Forum will be held in Red Bank at the United Methodist Church from 7-8:30 PM.  

A moderator will ask questions from the public of the candidates pertaining to environmental issues and recovery and rebuilding in the aftermath of Sandy.   

Citizens can register and submit questions for the candidates online here or comment on this post! COA will review any questions in the comment section of this post and make sure they are asked on the night of the Forum.

Republican incumbent candidate Senator Jen Beck, Democratic Senate candidate Dr. Michael Brantley, and Democratic Assembly candidate Kevin McMillan will be in attendance.  

This is the second Coastal Candidates Forum after a forum in Long Beach Island was held last week with the 9th Legislative district candidates.  The event is co-sponsored by Food & Water Watch and the Red Bank Environmental Commission.
