The sponsors of the candidate forum are the Kula and Kihei Community associations, Akaku Community Television and The Maui News.
The live forum will be broadcast on cable channels 52, 53 and 54. For those who prefer online viewing, there will be a streaming program on Channel 53. Go to the website akaku.org/ and click on the word "Live" just above the "53."

The forum will include candidates for two County Council races, the nonpartisan Wailuku and Kahului residency races; a state Senate Democratic primary for District 7 that includes Upcountry and East Maui, Molokai and Lanai; and three Democratic primaries for state House District 9-Kahului, District 10-West Maui and District 11-South Maui.
