“The Mayoral Candidates Forum will be an opportunity to listen to the mayoral candidates as they discuss and debate issues impacting the District’s diverse LGBT community, as well as their overall vision for the District of Columbia,” said Mario Acosta-Velez, Stein Club’s President.
“The Forum will also promote the participation of the LGBT community in this year’s mayoral race and increase our visibility and presence as a significant voting bloc in the District’s election,” continued Acosta-Velez.
