 EVENTS In late September and early October, Voices co-hosted four General Assembly candidate forums focused on children’s issues. The forums, which were moderated, timed question and answer sessions, included 39 candidates from Fairfax, Hampton/Newport News, the greater Richmond area, and Roanoke/Salem. Additionally, approximately 275 community members came to hear from candidates about children’s issues! In addition, we offered all candidates the opportunity to submit written responses to the questions (posted below): Alex Ballin, Candidate in House District 17 Pam Pouchot, Candidate in House District 96 Children’s Issues General Assembly Candidate Forum Cosponsors The Virginia Poverty Law Center and Voices for Virginia's Children in partnership with American Academy of Pediatrics, Virginia Chapter The Arc of the Greater Roanoke Valley The Arc of Petersburg The Arc of the Virginia Peninsula FACES of Virginia Families (the Foster, Adoption, and Kinship Association) Just Children, A Program of the Legal Aid Justice Center Mid-Atlantic Juvenile Defender Center National Center for Family Law Prevent Child Abuse Hampton Roads Reston Interfaith / Save our Childcare Virginia Association of Centers for Independent Living Virginia Coalition for Juvenile Justice Virginia Federation of Families
