About this stop

The full picture

This follows email correspondence (Cathi Kindt, April 2026): the **June 7** session is offered on the topic of **election process concerns** for Garland County residents. **Ground rules from the series:** it is **not** promoted as a candidate campaign rally—participants with public roles join as **citizens** in a structured conversation, not to pitch an organization or platform. A **separate, candidacy-focused listening session** at another time remains an option Cathi offered to discuss. The campaign lists this so neighbors understand host expectations; RSVP and room details should match the library’s or Braver Angels’ public post when available.

Expectations

What to expect

  • Two-hour facilitated block (2:00–4:00 p.m. Central per series pattern)
  • Small-group norms: curiosity, civil disagreement, and local election-process concerns—not stump speeches

Fit
