The public is invited to attend the forums and ask legislators questions about legislation.

All Johnson County officials have been invited to participate in the legislative forums including Sens. Dawn Driscoll, Zach Wahls and Janice Weiner, and Reps. David Jacoby, Heather Hora, Elinor Levin, Amy Nielsen, Brad Sherman and Adam Zabner.

The forum will be moderated and timed by League members.

The forum will be live-streamed and videotaped.
